The LA Angels have seemingly been bringing up Kaleb Cowart for short stints for the past decade. However, before 2017, he had never performed well enough to stay up. But now, Cowart is showing everyone he is not just a fill in, but a franchise player.
No, he is not a Mike Trout or Andrelton Simmons. Those two players are the future of the Angels franchise and should be deemed untouchable. However, Cowart is putting himself on the same level as Kole Calhoun, the kind of guys who will do anything to win, and turn postseason berths into World Series Championships.
