Or, looked at another way, since their sweep of the Marlins, they're 6-13 with a run differential of -16.

He did hit a HR later, at least. 

I haven't read through this whole thread, but why are we all the sudden trying to move Adell to 1B, a position at which the Angels already have a young player they're trying to develop?  Seems more like creating new problems than solving any existing ones.

Best thing to happen to Edmonds was the Angels trading him to St. Louis.

I refuse to believe that wasn't at least a decade ago. 

Nah, you and Blarg just aren't funny.

The entire AL West should be demoted to AAA.

Edmonds too. 
Edmonds blew out his arm trying to impress scouts while pitching (he was a better pitcher than hitter in HS).  He continued to have issues through the first two years in the minors, so the Angels were trying to transition him to 1B just in case the arm issues continued.  But ppl forget he started more games at 1B than in CF as a.rookie.

Let's move Rengifo to catcher and O'Hoppe to right field, so he can take Adell's place when Adell moves to first.  And once Sano is back from his injury, he should take Jose Suarez's spot in the bullpen.

I agree he shouldn't be. I don't think he would be if he had options, it feels like they just didn't want to risk losing him so they have a square peg in a round hole situation.  He's not helping them and not pitching at all isn't going to help him find his command. 
Everything about his predictive data is wonky..  Velocity is steady, more movement and career low exit velocities but despite those exit velos he's been getting torched.  The big issue has been a massive spike in walk rate, so he's probably falling behind and serving up meat.  His Babip has been over .330 since coming back from the injury last year so, there's some bad luck there but the command issues are real and problematic.
But yeah -- its not working.

Let's just make every player universal at all eight positions, and swap them in and out as need be.

He was in the majors long enough this season to hit 5 years of service time.  He can reject the assignment, become a free agent, and the Braves would still owe him the remainder of his contract.

I'm not sure if it's an AW thing or an every baseball fan thing, but it's cute how certain folks think you can simply move a player from one position to a completely different position.
