Angels Designate Daniel Nava, Craig Gentry For Assignment

By Steve Adams | July 30, 2016 at 5:12pm CDT

The Indians announced today that they’ve designated outfielders Daniel Nava and Craig Gentry for assignment. Outfielder Shane Robinson has been reinstated from the DL in a corresponding move.

The news brings to end a left field platoon that was widely panned by Angels fans this offseason, as the Halos elected to pursue bargain options with rather than incur luxury tax penalization when addressing its left field vacancy. Nava and Gentry have both spent significant time on the DL this season, and neither was overly productive at the dish. Nava batted .235/.309/.303 in 136 plate appearances while Gentry slashed .147/.237/.176 in just 39 trips to the plate.

Steve apparently didnt bother proofreading the first 2 words even?

I want gentry back.

Wishful thinking on his part

I want gentry back.

I'll pass myself. Stubbs is back and I am fine if we need a player of that type. I mean he would be okay when the rosters are expanded as a PR but other than that no need for him like there once was.

Just got back in town only to find ya'll didn't make any trades. Oh well maybe Perez will be on his game tonight.

 

[romeo212000]

Gallo needs to start showing he can be a professional hitter. That at bat with the bases loaded last night was a fucking joke.

Hope all is well with you, sir.

 

[saddles]

Sounds like they could use DeShields.

Last done by the Rangers in 2011 when Hamilton and Kinsler did it.

We may never see an offense like that one again.

It really was murderers row.

if indians go for lucroy, they are going for it.

Lucroy has to agree to deal. Cleveland is on his no trade list.

That's what the lineup should be every night versus RHPs though I'd switch the positions and have Gallo in LF and Profar DH

If Choo can stay healthy when he gets back that's a scary lineup

And I think you'll see Choo DH a bit down the stretch, which is why it's good that Profar is getting some OF time now

 

[Bmurph]

CONGRATS MY!

One of the best!

Baseball, morals and character

Gotta resign Ian!
