As much as I like the recognition the Angels prospects are getting, there aren't 58 prospects better than Adell.

There aren't even 20.

Its probably because they don't have NY or ATL in front of their names.

Not that I'm totally exposing a mid-season re-ranked T100 or anything... and yea, the difference between 25-40 isn't anything so argue whether he's 25 or 40

Yeah pretty much my sentiments.

Mobile playing a double-header today and Griffin Canning pitched the early game just now

Big ups to eppler for taking a chance on him in the second round when there were some questions about his shoulder coming out of college. 

 

He seems like he’s developing into a #2

[bloodbrother]

Thought Canning's day was done after 5 since his pitch count was at 82, but they left him in to get 2 more outs. Finished with 88 pitches, which is a new season high. He threw 87 pitches his last outing. Perhaps they're stretching him a bit now that we're about midway through the season

I feel like he's never giving up runs every time I look. 

Crazy good. Time to promote him up to AAA.

Luis Rengifo just hit a 2-run HR to give Mobile a 2-0 lead through 6. His 2nd HR in Double-A and 4th of the season. Now batting .348 in 66 AB's since his promotion

your feelings serve you well.  

he's only given up runs in 2 of his last 8 starts and in 4 of his 12 starts.  2 hits or less in 7 of them . 

[Angel Oracle]

In Canning's past 32.2 innings: 18 hits, 41/11 Ks/BBs, 0.90 WHIP, and 1.37 ERA

This kid is starting to become my favorite prospect in the org. 

Speed, OBP & contact skills, Pop. 

I hope to God we don't trade him. We could REALLY REALLY use him at the top of our lineup. 

I'd like to see him move to 2B now so he can get reps there. We know Simmons isn't going anywhere, unless Eppler has plans of flipping him in the future for a serious haul. 

[Chuck]

The silver lining in the midst of a frustrating season (Ohtani injury, the BP and our FA signings not panning out) is Mike Trout and following our farm system.

This thread is my most checked page on my entire forum and it's not even close.

Heck knows the Halos can use a REAL leadoff type hitter in the leadoff spot.   They truly haven't had one since Figgins, NINE years ago.

Same for me.  I left out totdpods in the other thread, he does a nice job for breaking things down too.

First thread I look at for new posts! 

I’d like them to keep Canning in double-a a bit longer.  With the lack of hits & walks he’s giving up he’s barely getting through the order 2 times!  Let’s see how he does once he’s stretched out to 100 pitches.

Since Salt Lake and the PCL is a pretty shitty environment for pitchers, the Angels could skip AAA altogether and go right to the big leagues. I believe Verlander, Prior and Price all did the same thing.

Unless the Angels are going to have Canning pitch in the bullpen, like Chuck Finley, averaging five innings an outing is not gong to cut it.

I think Ervin intially skipped AAA and came straight to the bigs as well.

That's right, he did.

and Richards.

I saw Ervin pitch at Rancho, and I was impressed. You heard the thump when his pitches hit the catchers mitt.
