Thank you, Kole Calhoun!

[The God of Runs]

Between you and Trout, you have rejuvenated my excitement for Angels Baseball. We got two keepers here, better than Salmon-Edmonds. Awwwww, Yeah!

Remember when Luis Jimenez was called up and hit .500 in his first week and everyone was ready to trade Callaspo and give him the starting job at 3rd?

Jimenez didn't have a 1.000+ OPS in AAA and did not hit a home run in back to back games after hitting 3 in one game in AAA last week.

[AngelsFaninGA]

To be fair, most people saw through Jimenez because he displayed poor plate discipline throughout his minor league career.

Jimenez didn't have a 1.000+ OPS in AAA and did not hit a home run in back to back games after hitting 3 in one game in AAA last week.

 

That doesn't change the fact that he has played in 6.5 major league games this year and should not be seen as any kind of "savior".

Is anyone else wondering why the heck Hawpe was up for so long?

I think a lot of us wondered why he was up in the first place!

[Tank]

Better than Salmon and Edmonds?!? No way!

Off to YK's landfill for you for making such an error in judgement, junior.

You mean, every day until Callaspo got traded?

Trout > Edmonds > Salmon > Calhoun

This!

[Second Base]

Trout > everyone at baseball.  Calhoun...surprisingly good.  Better than the 4th OF he's been pegged for given his physical tools. 

[Troutta here]

For what it's worth, it's possible that he's about to pass Hamilton in fWAR after playing 7 games

Kole > Pujols

 

 

yeah I said it!

[Brent Maguire]

Calhoun is fun to watch.

Glad he's finally up and making a big impact here.

[ELEVEN]

He's so good even Scioscia will eventually see it.

[Stradling]

I'll say this, if he plays well these last 50 games then I will be firmly in the trade Peter camp. If Kole is a solid outfielder with good on base skills and gap power, like a poor mans Choo, keep him in right and trade Peter and use Shuck as your 4th OFer.

[Angel Oracle]

Calhoun is a solid all around player. Love having those guys on the team any day.

Eh, I would trade Trumbo before I would trade Bourjos if Calhoun ends up looking like a guy you play everyday.

[seenoevil]

Kole is going to be our Puig!

Koles Sunday was him protecting Saturdays XL strike zone rookies get. Came close on the last AB to another hr.
