When people say something cannot be

measured by stats in baseball, they are basically trying to say someone is good despite bad stats.

Trumbo will be taking reps at third base.

Abreu is current #1 DH on depth chart (nm)

coug203

Feb 22, 03:30pm

Only because Morales hasn't played in two years. One of (short)

Pujols will get some time at DH too

Abreu said the Angels need to

BYUcali

Kendrys will not play 3rd, he can't even run yet. He is a DH (nm)

BYUheaven

Feb 22, 03:36pm

I havent heard an update on his status.. (short)

BYUcali

Feb 22, 03:38pm

he was cleared to run outdoors on Sunday,

BYUheaven

Feb 22, 03:42pm

oh wow. Thats the longest recovery of all time. (nm)

Wells has sucked for a long time.

mpfunk

Feb 22, 03:40pm

If you are starting Wells you do certainly (short)

mpfunk

Feb 22, 03:31pm

It's about time

Hang10

Feb 22, 03:33pm

Abreu publicly said yesterday he wanted to be traded (short)

BYUheaven

Feb 22, 03:35pm

I don't know, but Trout needs to be on the field. (nm)

furiousb

Feb 22, 03:38pm

That is why you trade Abreu

BYUheaven

Feb 22, 03:45pm

Having said that, you would not be technically trading Abreu

BYUheaven

Feb 22, 03:47pm

Exactly. (nm)

furiousb

Feb 22, 04:10pm

Wells sucks. If you are talking about using

mpfunk

Feb 22, 03:59pm

Trumbo had an OBP of .291. That really, really sucks.

Scratch

Feb 22, 03:38pm

But his production was solid

Hang10

Feb 22, 03:41pm

That may be, but if your 1B is only good enough to bat 7th

Scratch

Feb 22, 03:51pm

Except he won't be playing 1B...likely 3B (short)

Hang10

Feb 22, 03:52pm

His OPS+ though is above-average at 113

mpfunk

Feb 22, 03:43pm

Exactly, and if you're a contender you don't want to have a

Scratch

Feb 22, 03:46pm

Angels are not asking Trumbo to bat cleanup.

BYUheaven

Feb 22, 03:49pm

Bingo! (nm)

Hang10

Feb 22, 03:53pm

Again, that's kind of the point.

Scratch

Feb 22, 03:57pm

He's either starting at 3B or on the bench

Hang10

Feb 22, 04:13pm

My point is that Trumbo is not that good as a 1B,

Scratch

Feb 22, 04:18pm

I think we agree...he was the best option last year (short)

Hang10

Feb 22, 04:23pm

Yep, and if you're a contender you have a small problem

Scratch

Feb 22, 04:44pm

If he can handle third base then that changes everything.

Scratch

Feb 22, 03:54pm

I agree, but he made leaps and bounds at first (short)

BYUheaven

Feb 22, 03:55pm

Absolutely, you get that production by a 3B

mpfunk

Feb 22, 03:58pm

We need to see if Trumbo's foot heals too
