[The God of Runs]

Who is this guy?  And why is he here?  Halos can get about the same production from any guy coming in off the street.  The fact that this guy is starting on a team with a payroll over $120 million pretty much sums up how good of a farm system the Halos organization has.  I mean, I love black people, but guys like this should stay at AAA. 

[jshep]

I'm still trying to figure out what he supposedly does well enough to warrant everyday playing time for the rest of the season.

 

Other than hitting well for 1 season in Coors Field.

[tomsred]

That's why he's playing, to find out if anything is living in his brain.

[bloodbrother]

He's here as basically "filler" after the Callaspo trade. They'll find a 3B option in the offseason or something....I think, and hope.

[JAHV76]

With Lucho injured they don't have any better options. I hope Cowart gets a shot during spring training.

[tennischmp]

Why does it matter really? He's playing to see if he is any good for next season.

[Ohtaniland]

There's always Brandon Wood.

[jsnpritchett]

Yeah, he really deserves it after the stellar year he's having in AA, huh?...

Currently they don't have many better options other than Jimenez. The free agent market doesn't look very promising either.

[Season Over]

This season doesn't matter anymore.  I highly doubt he's the opening day 3B in 2014.

[gotbeer]

a .328/.361/545/906 at AAA this year.  I'd like to say adjustment, but this team doesn't do that.

Your last sentence is unrelated and irrelevant. Combined with your shocking lack of knowledge about this team, I can only conclude you're trolling.

So you are saying since Howie is on the DL we needed to fill our "brotha" quota? Give me a break

[Mark68]

The last sentence of your post pretty much disqualifies anything you have to say in the rest of the post.

[Angel Oracle]

That last sentence was just a wee bit out there.

That being said, Nelson is the typical AAAA player. Why else did the Skanks release him so soon?

[Angel Oracle]

The first time the garbage collector Dipoto doesn't bring in an ex-Rockies or ex-DBacks player will be cause for celebration.

[Blarg]

Really doesn't matter where Dipoto picks up players as long as they can fill a role. At this point in this season Nelson is filling a role. The OP made a very uneducated post.

[Mark68]

Did you celebrate Scott Cousins or Brendan Harris?

[rageous]

I would hope the Angels can do someone better in 2014 but you look at the possible free agents and its complete shit.

Maybe Howie can convert to a third baseman.

[tomsred]

The possibilities are Jimenez, Green, Nelson, and Cowert; unless you want to take a chance on Arod, LOL.

[nate]

Nelson is here cause he was doing will in AAA and Lucho was hurt.

 

Mostly because Callaspo was traded.

Say hello to Michael Young or some one year stopgap.

At least his at bat in the 9th wasn't as pathetic as Trumbo's...  that weak swing completely off balance with his plant foot in the air for strike 3......  just pathetic....

[SigBaby]

We should get in on the Adam Rosales tea party Texas and Oakland have gong on

i agree

 

if there is an organization that is flaunting their expertise when it comes to 3B, it has to be the yankees. 

 

their collective .215 BA ,5 HRs and .563 OPS screams excellence
