The Story: C.J. Cron was recalled by the Angels with Edgar Ibarra getting demoted back to Triple-A.
The Monkey Says: Cron was on a tear in Salt Lake, so the team brought him back up. It may have just been the plan all along, but him playing so well over ten games certainly didn’t hurt. I still wouldn’t expect much from Cron, but you can’t blame the Angels for trying to find someone with offensive upside.
The Story: The Angels sent down Grant Green and recalled Drew Rucinski.
The Monkey Says: Rucinski was needed after Garrett Richards’ disastrous start.
