Package Walsh with Ohtani in blockbuster with SD

They've got the prospects:

CJ Abrams (#12 overal, 2B in MLB), 60 FV

Luis Campusano (#28, C in AAA), 55 FV

Robert Hassell (#42, RF in A+), 50 FV

James Wood (#68, CF in A), 50 FV

Dylan Lesko (#85, SP just drafted), 50 FV

So maybe Abrams, Campusano, one of Hassell or Wood, and a couple 40+ FV pitching prospects. But it would probably have to be Abrams AND Campusano to make Minasian consider it.

How about Gore or Weathers?

Gore isn't a prospect anymore, but dropped to 50 FV before this year. I think he maxed out at 60 a year or two ago, maybe 65. Weathers is 45+. Their scouting report says "his fastball's sinker shape and history of velo fluctuation kept him outside our 50 FV tier as a prospect."

Any chance he makes the majors by the end of the year?

He looks like Steve Bilko

I wonder if Kevin Maitan feels threatened by DiChiara, as he's no longer the huskiest player on the team.

[Angelsjunky]

DiChiara is 2-2 with a walk.

HBP 

EDIT: just realized he got both

Now 2-2 with a HBP and 2 walks, hell of a debut

Sonny is the offensive player the Angels were hoping they were getting when they drafted Cron.

Or Trumbo or Thaiss. But...

It's early.

Nah, Trumbo was always going to be a project and there were more fans of him on the mound than in the field (like Cowart).  And while Thaiss was believed to be among the most if not the most advanced bat in his college class; his power was always considered suspect.  Cron came out of Utah with a reputation for moon shot power and a great eye, but as we all saw he wasn't particularly patient.  

Sonny D is actually patient and is a LD machine.  So even the Cron comp is off a bit.

I'm getting a bit of a Mo Vaughn vibe from him. He seems like the type of power hitter that will hit for a good average.

When I saw the twitter feeds of DiChara's ab's tonight, I immediately thought of John Kruk.  If Big D keeps hitting like that, and getting on base, sooner or later, he'll earn a spot.

No concerns about his weight?

Defensively sure, but unless he keeps getting bigger he's proven he can play at "261".

I guess the good news is he’ll likely lose weight, given the living conditions of Angels minor leaguers.

He's got 160K to spend on Taco Bell, so maybe not for a couple months.
