I'm in Australia so most of what I actually get to watch is Gameday running in the background while I'm at work, and watch highlights after the games have finished. My question/s here is: 
What has Kole changed? I've heard his approach and coverage at the plate has improved since returning from the DL but what exactly has he done? Has he figured something out and is it sustainable? Did he change something coming into this year?
May 31 (before the DL) -   .145 / .195 / .179
Jul 5 (15 games later) -    .180 / .230 / .275
Is this expected to continue and get him back to his career norm, or have the shifts just completely ruined him? I've always liked Kole and having him in RF provides a defensive advantage over their alternatives.
Thanks

1-0 with Pujols batting 5th?

I thought down this line as well but there has to be at least some difference:
Position / Hitting:
Cozart, Zack (2B)          = Fletcher Marte, Jefry (1B)           meh Ohtani, Shohei (P)         Has to be FAR better than whoever else has DH'ed Rivera, Rene (C)             Was outhitting Machete but at least Briceno has been a pleasant surprise Starters:
Any combination has to be better than Pena / Lamb (yeah I know he DL'ed now) / whoever they call up next
Lamb, John (P) Meyer, Alex (P) Ohtani, Shohei (P) Ramirez, JC (P) Richards, Garrett (P) Shoemaker, Matt (P) Tropeano, Nick (P) Relievers:
You don't think they would make a difference over Drake / Robles / Morris?
Jewell, Jake (P) Johnson, Jim (P) Middleton, Keynan (P) Wood, Blake (P)

History tells us that their AAA pitching counterparts are headed to the Angels, then shortly after headed to the DL

I see a potentially nice bullpen with Shoe, Meyer, Tropeano, and JC Ramirez joining Parker and whoever else.

While this is far from the only reason the team is in the position it is in, how much better do you think this years intended roster would if these guys were healthy?

How long until they drop Young/Herm and bring up EYJ for a while? He always added a little spark last year when he came up to replace Trout
