How many hits or how high an average would Matt have to post in Spring Training to make the team? 

[Wallerrrr]

about 200

little chance he breaks camp with the team IMO

He would have to change his name to Cy.

He would have to change his name to Cy. 

Perfect!

Where's the fun in Spring Training if there isn't a surprise player making the team?

That would be the greatest shock in Angels news in 52 years.

This thread has prompted me to look up his MiLB #'s, and they look pretty good. It's hard not to like someone with an eye at the plate. Also looks like he might have some legs. Tore apart the PCL in 12 games. 

 

Still doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell. 

[LAAMike]

He's still batting pretty well and Kole Calhoun has not done well.. Any chance to make the roster?

[jshep]

I think there's a pretty decent chance they don't take any of the extra outfielders and take someone like Hall(who can play some INF and OF), but if they did, Calhoun and Cousins would likely have the edge due to being on the 40-man.

 

So I can't see him making it.

One problem with him is he isn't on the 40 man roster.  But then again, Hall isn't on the 40 man roster also.  

 

But the big red flag is, these numbers are so much higher than anything he's done in the minors.    I don't know how much the Angels would be willing to put him on the roster, off of one Spring.  He'll probably start in AAA, and see if his hitting continues, then possibly be called up later in the season.  But then you run into the problem of not being able to send him back down without clearing waivers.  

 

http://thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?P=Bill-Hall'>Bill Hall on the other  hand at least had some former MLB experience, and was good at one point.  I could see them taking a shot at him, especially with the power he's shown in the spring.

Wells has a better shot starting at LF for the Angles than Matt making the team.

No chance. Put Witherspoon on the team.
