I hope you’re being sarcastic and not being a classless jerk.

Pretty positive it was sarcasm

Yeah, that sux, and so do you, my friend! Cron looked a cut above the rest as I watched him down in AAA after being sent last year. This year, he stayed up, putting nice craftwork together, then gets bit in the hand. The Angels were getting it together, but it seems like injury is the price to pay for doing. Talk about patience is a virtue.
Gogerty
Wow, that sucks, he had been looking good lately.

Yeah, I’ll admit he proved me wrong to the moon and back. I didn’t think he was more than a AAAA guy. I was happy for the guy.
Sucks to see him go down

He just wasn’t advertised very much. When the Angels drafted Cron he was considered the most advanced power hitter in the draft. He mashed in the minors. But his pitch selection was the one thing holding him back in his first two seasons with the big club. And if you look at all three seasons, his numbers go up as he accumulates more plate appearances.

It’s because I picked him up in my fantasy league a week ago. Almost every player on my team has had a DL stint this year, especially hamstrings. I had 5 guys in the same week go down for hammies.

The one guy on the Angels who has been swinging a hot bat … Figures
ryanw-2
Add Escobar, Calhoun, Trout, Pujols, and Simmons to that list…
angelsinthetroutfield
yep. the bats haven’t been an issue

Really sucks for CJ. He was having a damn strong season up to this point and that’s including a terrible first few weeks.
I was actually kinda hoping his recent form would help net us a solid piece for the future through trade (probably as part of a package). It’s my opinion that a lefty hitting 1B fits our roster better but it’s no necessity. I’ve grown to like the guy quite a bit. Hard worker, he’s come a long way with his physique, fielding, and plate discipline.

Good. CJ was hurting our chances at getting a top 5 pick in the draft for the first time in 20 years. Tanking’s our only hope.

BTW, clearly that rosterresource.com link to the Angels depth chart is broken, since it does not lead to a blank page. Please fix the link.
Yamsi12
No it’s not broken. The Angels have no depth.
lazorko
You need to work on your reading comprehension and sarcasm detection. Link still *doesn’t* lead to a *blank* page. Therefore, link still broken.

really…

Boom!

BAd deal. CJ was really doing well. Maybe Arte will resign his favorite pretty boy CJ Wilson!

cj the pre madonna

Did you seriously just say “pre madonna”?
It’s prima donna.
erickohli
The hits, no pun intended, just keep on coming for the Halos. This sucks.
Yamsi12
Of course……
AngelFan69
I don’t want to sound superstitious but …. This team is definitely cursed…
diamondbacksbaseball
Who cares? ……. Angels are done anyways cron is maybe bottom 5 first baseman in baseball anyways waste of space
agentx
Pretty harsh assessment of Cron. Have you already forgotten how bad some of the D’backs options were at 1B before Goldschmidt arrived?
halos101
bottom five? your crazy bud
darenh
oh man, what a nightmarish season for the Halos.
Lanidrac
In the meantime, could Pujols see some more time at 1B to clear up the DH spot for a wider variety of hitters? I understand still wanting to rest him at DH sometimes, but the two-time Gold Glover still plays pretty good defense.
agentx
I also hope that’s the case. Pujols has looked like he’s over that foot injury over his 25 games at 1B this year, at least so far as it had limited his fielding before.
