A chance for Thaiss to better master 1B defense, in case he gets promoted to starting Halos 1B by mid-2018

[Broad Street]

Adam Hofacket... What a name.

[Angel Oracle]

Hof@ckit, let's just pitch!

[GabeS]

Two tears in a bucket, Hofackit... 

[Docwaukee]

Nate Bates is a pretty solid name as well.

Trout recently gave Jones some hitting advice. Ugh!

[tdawg87]

Adell had 2 more hits. Now batting .360 at Orem.

I prefer non-IE bound.

Both Pearson and N. Williams are really struggling at the lowest rookie level.   Not good to see from higher draft picks

Patience, patience...Garrett Anderson hit .213/.231 with no HR's and 14 RBI's in 36 games in his 18 year old season in Arizona...

Yep. 

 

[GrittyVeterans]

Pearson I see the upside to at least. Nonie, not so sure about

[Angelsjunky]

I think there's about a 10% that Nonie turns into something good, maybe 20-30% that he reaches the majors. Pearson has a slightly higher percentage, although probably less absolute upside.

I think it is worth pointing out that Nonie was a switch-hitter up until this season. 
He's since focused only on hitting right-handed this year. 

Vs. LHP  - .316/.350/.474/.824 in 38 AB, with 4 XBH, 1 BB, 10 K
Vs. RHP  - .182/.265/.215/.480 in 121 AB, with 2 XBH, 13 BB, 39 K

Maybe he should give switch-hitting another shot? Or maybe we just need to be a little more patient as he adjusts to hitting righties as a right-handed hitter.

When he was drafted there was a video of him hitting and the RH swing was so much better than the LH. I think he's better off getting adjusted to RH only hitting

That Orem outfield...

Yeah, I'd like to see Adell get in some action out there before the season/playoffs are over.

But you're right. Hunter, Adell and Marsh is one helluva athletic and fast outfield trio. 

[Angel Oracle]

Now that Torii Jr. Is focusing on baseball, his development will be interesting to watch.

[Angelsjunky]

Who is this "Garret Richards" prospect in AAA?

[Chuck]

That Orem lineup tho...
