08:50 AM ET 04.26 | Reinforcements do not appear to be on the way. The more the offense stagnates, the more fans clamor for Mike Trout, the dynamic outfield prospect who is tearing it up at triple-A Salt Lake, to be called up and inserted into the lineup. But there was no indication from Manager Mike Scioscia on Wednesday that the Angels are considering such a move at this time. "I don't believe anything is imminent, but when you play at the level Mike is playing at now, you become more of a focal point of fans, the media and the organization," Scioscia said. "When a move is made depends on a lot of things. When you're playing that well, you tend to push the door open for yourself, but right now he will continue to play [at Salt Lake] until something changes."

I'm going to say here and now that the kid isn't the answer.

April 26, 2012  09:06 AM ET

He's been tearing up AAA pitching.

Shame they spent so much money to be buried in the basement.

Another productive night for Albert. Hitless in his last 19 AB's and homerless in his first 72 AB's.

April 26, 2012  09:57 AM ET

He is avg .419 with 5 triples in AAA.

Meantime Jeter is on pace to have 306 hits this year, a .420 avg., .442 OBP, .642 SLG and 1.084 OPS. Ohhhh if it only worked that way for a whole season ha ha. Albert will break out of it and more than catch up.

mike trout, its hitting ,400 avg, but one's the halos bring him up to the majors,,,, he would likely cool off in the bench,,, thanks to the out number in the OF. in order to bring trout to the majors,,, the angels should trade bourjo's, abreu, wells,,,,

Well. In that case, they should just leave him in AAA.

after getting some room in the outfield,, trumbo should play every day, mike trout should be in the lineup every day, hunter, and wells, should play every day,

Have you noticed that EVERY starting SS in our league is crapping the bed splendidly? Somehow Tulo's on fire (orange flag) and he has ZERO points for the week............amazing.

Speak for yourself. I've got seven points so far out of my SS slot.

then again, lets not forget, mike sciocia, should bring morales slowly back into the majors,,, why??? by being two years out of the competetion in the game,, he would need at least 6 months to get himself back in track, as every body can see, morales would get one single here, or one double there, but because he has lost soo much time out, sciocia can't use him in every day role,,,, the halos need to give him time to regroup and be able to learn the confort zone!!!

that's why,,, you never sign players to a veryyyyyy, longggg, contract, because who knows what could happen in the future???crawford has being out more than a month, and he may get a surgery on his left elbow, pujols can't find the confort zone in the plate, while crawford may be ready to hit the shelter, pujols may had to visit the the crazy doctor, just to straight up his mind,,,, after all what its really wrong with pujols its more mental than physical!!!!
