Which means that expectations are very different. Half of Neto's value is his defense, while maybe about 10% of Schanuel's value--as a first baseman--is defense. Not to mention base-running.

Except they didn’t sign him fairly quickly. They signed him in January about three weeks before spring training started. 

This is correct. 
 
I would say most players who use interpreters for interviews (Japanese and Spanish) speak English well enough for informal conversations but not for on the record interviews. 
 
As an aside, that doesn’t bother me at all. Luís Rengifo tries really hard at English and wants to do interviews in English, which is admirable. But there are times I think it would be better for my purposes (and therefore the readers) if he’d just use the interpreter so he could give more detailed and nuanced answers. 

Seriously. 
 
if the Angels get through the season and a healthy Jo Adell has been on the bench the whole time that would mean everyone else is healthy and performing well, which would be a problem the Angels haven’t had lately.

I think Trout has made it pretty clear what he thinks.
And I wouldn't think Perry would be likely to publicly say "I wanted to sign more players but my boss said no." However, I think we can assume that's the case.

Washington said they sent down Soto because they want him to play and not sit on the bench. 
 
I definitely think they value him more than Adrianza in the big picture

As for Cooper, I suppose he'd be better than Sanó. The other guys still don't play shortstop as well as Luis Rengifo, so you're talking about a No. 3 shortstop and No. 6 infielder. Also, the player would have to want to come to a place where he's the No. 6 infielder. 
I'd call any of that hair-splitting. 
I do think Brandon Belt would be a decent addition at this point, but who know what he's still looking for. 

My guess would be Strickland and Zuñiga with Soriano starting in the minors.
