They got a lot of things we don't have brother. I see at least 7 guys there who would be our 2nd or 3rd best hitter.

We've now got the Dollar Store version of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.

I cannot emphasize enough how awesome it is to see Jo Adell hitting like this.

With his power/speed combo, if it is actually coming together for him, we are talking about a player who might legitimately be a superstar.

This isn't a Neto/Schanuel situation where the ceiling is "good player". Adell could seriously be a meat of the order best player on the team type of guy.

Would be incredible for the org.

They need to stick his ass at DH and never let him see the field again

It honesty just feels like the line-up isn't fully connected, plus the struggles and lack of power from certain guys isn't helping. Hopefully with Hicks getting DFA,it's the first step of changing that.

Personally If I have to say, I'm fine with Trout and Adell at the top, after that I don't agreed. 

Here's but I would do/have done. 

1. Bring up Wallace and make him the 2ndary C. Place Sano on the 10 day Il to get him both the proper time and rest. 

2. My line-up would be:

1. Trout CF

2. Adell Rf

3. Rengifo 3rd

4.Ward Lf

5. O'hoppe C

6. Thaiss DH

7. Drury 2nd

8. Schanuel 1b

9. Neto SS

I'm sorry, sir, but Cole Tucker is the DH and he can't be replaced.

I have to disagree,while Adell exhibits the highest upside among Neto and Schanuel. Labeling Neto's or Schanuel's upside as merely 'good-player' undermines their true potential. I would say that their upsides lean more towards All-Star caliber rather than just being 'good players'."

Yeah I don't agree with this at all, no shot Neto or Schanuel are ever hitting 30+ HRs every season like Francisco Lindor, Corey Seager, Pete Alonso, or Vlad Jr. 

I like both of them but its just not happening, hopium.

Adell, he has that type of power ability if he can become consistent.

In September we will start hearing how the Angels are wasting Adell's best years.

Whelp, I guess Adell's going 0-4 with 3 Ks, an error, and a caught stealing.

Thanks, new guy.

Tucker at DH is bizarre.  Yes, he's a switch-hitter and they're going against a lefty starter--but are you telling me that at this point in time, having Tucker DH is a better use of resources and development time than just letting Schanuel stay in the lineup?  If you want to give Schanuel a rest, let him DH.  Tucker's lifetime major league slash line against lefties is .211/.279/.289. 

Tucker gets 2 hits tonight

Career OPS+ of 57 and he's the starting DH.  Nice

And I'm gone disagreed with this take; not everyone that Hits 30 + (Gallo, Stanton) homeruns is considered a superstar. Plus, of the four guys that you've listed I would consider Seager a superstar. While Lindor and Vlad Jr in the All-star group and Alonso in the verry good  to bottom end All-star type of player. All I will say is that Neto/Schaneul upside is more than just "good-Player" It may take a year or 2, or it never happens. 

Plus a Superstar is a player like trout; Acuna, Othani, Judge. A guy that puts up 6+ War each year. even I'm hesitated in calling Adell's current ceiling  a superstar.

All-star is a guys that average about 4 to 5.9 war each year , which I think is Adell's current ceiling. 

Than I have the Very Good Tier, basically 3.5 to 3.9 War type of guys with a few All-star appearances; That to me is Neto/Schanuel ceiling is.

The good-players for me is the 2.0-2.4 War guys, anything under 2 I would consider Average.
