Pujols, the gift that keeps on giving.   Thank you Arte, only you would not understand that a guy who bends his knees at the plate for every pitch seen for 11 MLB years before coming here and weigh what he weighs, would eventually flame out.

Thaiss could serve in the Valbuena role, 120 games a year at 1B, but I feel like carry another 1B only will limit what Eppler or Scioscia want to do with the roster.

So probably a trade, which would be ironic. Our best current 1B CJ Cron is traded so the Angels can play a lesser hitter at 1B, and our best future 1B will also be traded for the same exact reason. 

If it weren't for the fact that the Angels dug up Rengifo in that trade, the stupidity of all of it would be maddening.

Cmon man. Hypothetical indignation is beneath you. There's enough real shit to be perturbed about without creating future ones

Shouldn't Jackson be playing in Orem by now?    Seems obvious that he's already mastered Arizona rookie league pitching (1.019 OPS and 6 SBs in 20 games).

Very few Arizona rookie league hitters get to that 1.000 OPS level, especially 18 year-olds.

How huge would it be if he came up next year mid season and was totally legit.

I say the Angels look at dealing Calhoun in the offseason for more RP/SP depth and let Adell take over in RF if he tears up AA for the rest of the minor league season.

Meh. Calhoun I dont think is going to bring much of anything back. And i think it would be putting too much pressure on a 20 year old.
