Should Angels trade Kole Calhoun? It’s being considered.

To me Calhoun is a clutch player. He suffered a batting slump and injury in the first half of 2018 season but came back second half in batting and great outfield play.

Reasons for trade considerations are that they want to bring up minor league phenom Jo Adell and make room for a spot on the roster. Trading Trout is not a consideration and apparently neither is Upton.

I’d rather they traded Upton than Calhoun. To me Calhoun plays with heart and passion which is something Upton lacks when it comes to making plays in the outfield. Calhoun’s season batting average wasn’t up to par in 2018 but he changed his stance approach in the second half which showed he was back to form. Head to head I give the edge to Calhoun over Upton.

Any Angels followers here that can chime in with an opinion? Just wondering what others think?

Can't speculate on Calhoun...But your team has bigger issues with hitting and keeping healthy pitchers
on the mound. You have a recent history of starting pitchers spending more time on the DL then on the
mound....But i wanna talk about your young phenom Ohtani....What a nice year he had 285-22-61 in 326 AB.
After this guy found out he had to get Tommy John surgery that same day he went 4-4 with 2 Home runs.
This is what you should be worried about whether he can continue hitting at the start of the season.
I dunno anyone who still goes out there with a bad elbow that needs surgery and continues to hit like this.
If this kid is healthy enough to start the season as a hitter the possibilities with 500 AB will be fun to see.
I hope this kid comes back and succeeds.....And as for him continuing as a pitcher in 2020 which will be more
important for a team signing him in 2020 his pitching or his hitting....I say forget the pitching part and make your
living on hitting. With a year under his belt in the ML he could even be better and that's what Mike Trout needs
on his team.....Good Luck with the Calhoun inquiries.


Yours truly SS
