If I was GM

I’d send Mathis down to AAA and callup Wilson. (Soth it’s 2008, no lineup can tolerate a guy that can barely crack the Mendoza line unless he walks and hits for Power ie Naps)

He’s the same guy that uses Oliver against lefties even though the guy stands on the 3rd base side of the rubber and this year he has done MUCH better against righties at least partly because of that.

Sept 1st callups

ANAHEIM — On Sept. 1, when Major League rosters can be expanded to accommodate an infusion of organizational talent, the Angels expect to make a few additions but don’t figure to do anything on a major scale in the fashion of non-contenders giving youngsters valuable exposure.
Before Friday night’s game against the Twins, manager Mike Scioscia outlined his primary needs as a third catcher and accurate arms for the bullpen.
*********
Reggie Willits, playing for Class A Rancho Cucamonga in his return from a concussion, is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list on Sunday. That likely would return first baseman Kendry Morales to Salt Lake, adding more firepower to the Bees’ lineup for the PCL playoffs.

If Reggie ever plays another game for the Angels again

Mathis

He’s had 3 very solid months for a catcher but in May and August he has hit like a bad hitting pitcher. I really think he’s going to be one of those catchers that when he’s like 34 is hitting .300 like Don Slaught who I think is a good Mathis comp. But right now the Angels can’t tolerate his offense. They need some type of consistency going into the playoffs.

by MH252525 on Aug 22, 2008 8:53 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

really?

this month, he’s batting .190.
his lowest point was May, when he hit a whopping .059.

his line since the all-star break: .190/.293/.354 with 26 Ks in 25 games.

tell me why he’s playing again?

Barry Bonds, for one.

I’d have to go back and look at the roster, because I knew it was a bit short at the time, but haven’t looked back in a while.

And they played it BEFORE spring training

If they played it in July do you really think Japan would win?
