Any updates on what's going on with Jo Adell?

Last I heard they're removing his UCL to give to Garret Richards.

seriously no sense in letting him play through some nagging injuries that could worsen if not attended to.

Quote

#Angels top prospect Jo Adell has been out a few days with a jammed right thumb. He apparently had a thumb guard but forgot it when he packed to go from A to AA. He is close to returning.

Hey @Dochalo, what’s Canning’s K/9 number? I’m guessing its pretty spiffy.

Granted, not all XBH are created equal, but I always thought it was funny when folks would say Thaiss lacks the power to be first baseman. 

Clearly, he's driving the ball, and has the necessary plate discipline to reach base even when he isn't hitting the ball hard. That and his newer, more upright stance that he unveiled in Spring Training is more conducive to deeply driven balls. Plus the amount of bulk he's added since signing is a reflection of his dedication to developing into what the Angels need him to be.

It's a bit unfair that his pathway to everyday at bats is blocked by Albert, but Thaiss looks to me like he's going to be a legitimate starting 1B in the major leagues. The fact that the Angels can only offer him part time work is a shame.

an upright stance is key to getting your balls deeply driven.  

[Docwaukee]

Also, Thaiss' PT at the major league level will be very much tied to Ohtani's health.

If Ohtani pitches next season, 80-90 DH starts, leaving some 230-240 starts for Pujols and Thaiss to share (115-120 starts each).

Give him part time at bats.  If he hits than reduce Albert's.  But let him prove he can hit major league pitching.

[Docwaukee]

although he deserves a call in sept, we've got a bunch of guys to protect on the 40 man this winter and he's not rule 5 eligible till next year so we probably won't see him till spring.  cred to @Jeff Fletcher for pointing this out.
