Weekday Warrior 176 Posted February 6 I see Joc as more of a contingency plan in case they genuinely feel like Adell needs to marinate in AAA a little longer - given Adell’s truncated 2019 - but in no way a barrier.  Everyday job will still be there for Adell to claim on opening day or Super 2 at latest with a strong spring. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angels don’t just trade for Joc and his 30+ hrs to have him sit on the bench IMO. He’s gonna start against every righty at the very least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weekday Warrior 176 Posted February 7 There are many, many paths to keeping Joc’s bat in the lineup that don’t involve keeping Adell in AAA when he has nothing left to prove there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hailfire4 393 Posted February 7 right now the Angels have Trout, Jup, Peterson in the OF and Ohtani at DH and Pujols at 1B. I can see many ways for Adell to get his better defense in the lineup. Maybe from day 1 maybe after his year control date. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adell had a PCL game where he went 2-2 with 2 HRs wiped off the stat books due to rain out that would have boosted those #s quite a bit given the small sample size)  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To simplify, he's saying that WHEN Adell has nothing left to prove, Joc will not be an impediment to his call-up to LAA. It's almost like you're purposefully being obtuse. Edited February 9 by Flyman75 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For this season, a lot...Roberts will play(big plus) and he also tore up 3 levels of the minors last season combine .328 average 32 HR 92 RBI 36 steals...Adell struggled a little bit in AAA and is behind Roberts in development...I have them both in Dynasty(mostly because of this forum) so hopefully the both catch fire! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cizastro 390 Posted March 28 When evaluating Adell, is there a MLB comp that you're expecting if everything goes right? Seems like he has great power and decent speed but also K's quite a bit. If everything goes right would he become more like a poor man's Bellinger?
