I always thought Springer was capable stealing more bases than he does. Hopefully Adell stays in motion.

I'm as excited about Adell as anyone, but I wouldn't blame the Angels if he spent a full season in AA. He isn't walking a ton yet (though more than he did last year) and I'd like to see what he can do against quality offspeed pitches.
Trout spent as little time in AA as he did because his plate discipline was already a "plus" skill and he'd started making adjustments that quickly would've made AA pointless.
I see a little of that in Adell. He's quick to adjust and those adjustments he makes can quickly make leave a developmental level behind. I don't think anyone foresaw Jo moving well beyond A Ball in only six weeks. 
Even the best prospects spend the majority of one season there.

Jo Adell is heating up.....
2-2 so far today with a homerun (5 for Inland Empire and 11 altogether)
.370 average during his 6-game hit streak.
 

Isaiah Campbell on the bump for Arkansas in the super regionals vs. South Carolina.  Angels 24th round pick.  Could be one of those over slot guys they grab if there's some extra pool $$$.  He's ranked 109th by mlb.

Appreciate the effort Chuckster, but that's an awful trade.  
Britton is just getting off the DL.  gave up 39h and 18bb with 29 k in 37.1ip last year.  Risky. Risky.  
Adam Jones is no longer a starter at the major league level.  He's got 7 bb in 266 PA.  -1.3 dWAR in CF already.  Maybe moving him to RF helps his d.  maybe not.  But it won't help his fairly putrid offense.  He's also making 17m this year.  
So it's basically Machado for half a year in exchange for Suarez, Marsh, and Thaiss plus Cozart as a salary offset?   Also, we are never going to afford both Trout and Machado.  
And most are saying we're not giving up enough?  
 
 

Clevinger

And I’m not worried about them signing him.  They had to have known he would be open to it. Also the kid and his family would be out of their goddamn minds to turn down 3 million. 

He's due 

I would just snag Manny Machado and get some hitting veteran outfielder.  

Damn... I was hoping we'd finally get a thread about the Capracious Conqueror, the Romantic Ruminant, the Bovid Big-Cheese : Super Goat.
 

Seeing Heaney out there in the 8th and still under 100 pitches brought a tear to my eye. His tribute to Middleton was to pitch his inning for him 

Before today's games - 
May 2018:
Valbuena = .286. BA   .400/.429/.829
Cron =  .267 BA   .343/.267/.610
 
Luis hasn't been the problem 

Yeah, I'm going to call bs on this.

I think when Poochie is not on screen, everyone should be asking "Where's Poochie?"
I think Poochie should also get access to a time machine

It's about time the Cards get screwed over

I vote for the monthly awards. I think each team gives the ballot to their beat writers and broadcasters. 

It'll be pretty neck and neck.
Shohei Ohtani vs. Jaime Barria vs. Justin Anderson...

Ty Cobb wasn't a racist, bro. Get with the times.

How many Rondons could we scrape up?

Lol at David Fletcher being untouchable. That's absurd
id trade him for hererra in a heart beat

Damn...

Trout Jr.

On Rayswin.com they are kicking themselves about releasing Dickerson and trading for Cron.

Calhoun could probably get us Luke Bard back from Minnesota 
and that’s asking a lot in return 

They should trade Salt Lake to the Colorado Rockies.  That would make the most sense for both team.
