Adrianza.

He's hitting .115/.217/.154 with 27 K in 61 PA.  He's been flat-out terrible every year since they drafted him.  He didn't really deserve to be in AAA based on his performance.  I'm guessing they just sent him there to see what would happen.  If he doesn't turn it around at Inland Empire, I imagine he'll be out of the system before the end of the year.

Nope.  He and Adell are both out of options.

RIP

Tbh I'm not even sure why Suarez was in the game given that there's an off day tomorrow

This is the big one for me. The depth and fringe players do not reflect a team that is actually committed to being better in the future. Aaron Hicks, Ehire Adrianza, Hunter Strickland, Carson Fulmer, Jose Cisnero... these guys don't have any future with the team or trade value.
A team that is properly building towards the future would be using these roster spots to develop younger players who might make an impact.
There are several positive outcomes from giving a younger player Hicks' ABs, for example.
You give yourself a chance at finding a backup OF for next year and beyond You give yourself a chance at finding a player who could fill in for injuries You give yourself a chance at finding a player who could take a starting spot if Adell or Moniak bust You give yourself a chance at finding a player who could make Taylor Ward trade-able as he starts getting significant money in arbitration Any of these potential positive outcomes would be beneficial for the club moving forwards, while sacrificing no downside. If the younger player shows no improvement and doesn't become part of the club's plans moving forwards, its the same exact result as rostering Hicks.
With the way the Angels have constructed the bottom end of the roster to have zero upside -- to me that says they haven't made a choice to rebuild, or they're just so cocky they think they can rebuild inefficiently and still get the job done.
 
 

It genuinely baffled me seeing people get upset that the Angels managed to control themselves this off season.

Thanks Suarez

I know it doesn't tell the whole story(he's been terrible with runners on base), but 10 HR with 13 RBI is legitimately hilarious

Trout-A-Here

Is that bad 

should have just left him on on the mound to die wash! 

Aaron Hicks will start on Friday.

It has been time for a while now.

Suarez.
Public enemy #1

Aaron Hicks will start on Friday.

They look like a team playing in a 13th straight day.   Much needed day off tomorrow 

Nice to see him get out of that inning only down 2-0!  He hasn't looked good today, but he battled through.

Well, that's certainly one thing DiChiara can provide plenty of.

He probably got sent there because Evan White (plus others) were hurt and they needed a body.
I agree; the IE stint seems like a last chance to get things together or you’re gone.

Anderson not sharp but hanging in. 
Sano getting more impressive in the field than at bat. 
Bats seem cold again.
