Sure:

It's May 1, and 4 of the 13 position player spots are currently occupied by Pillar, Tucker, Adrianza, and Calhoun--which means at least one of them will be starting every night (since one of Thaiss/O'Hoppe will always be on the bench). That's embarrassing for any team, even one going through a soft rebuild. Zero excuse for having such awful depth.

Man, on the other hand, the Angels are killing it on the diversity front. Since they don't have Bauer, they should feel safe with brining in a female ball player.

Given that it's an hour before the game and they still haven't officially announced any roster moves, I wonder if it'll be a series of moves, rather than just Sano to the IL and bringing up Calhoun?

After this season, we may look back at that team and refer to those times as the Glory Days.

Kristofak making it to the majors and pitching in a game was a great story.

But if we go strictly by results/stuff, he didn’t really deserve a call-up. He got called up because the pen was taxed and they didn’t have any other options available to get a fresh arm that could provide length.

So I think him making it to the majors, playing a game, and getting DFAd is a lot better than the alternative of potentially never making it to the majors.

I was joking.  I know he was called up simply because of being a guy who was available in that moment.

He may get picked up by a good franchise so this may work out for him.

It's kinda weird how the Angels just released Kristofak and haven't re-signed him.

[Angel Oracle]

Who had Calhoun putting up .319/.340/.553/.893 in his first 50 PAs?

that sucks

at least he got to make his MLB debut before the injury, cause I'm not sure he would've ever gotten the chance if he didn't and then got hurt.
