While his MLB numbers are scary to look at, his AAA numbers are rather intriguing. I think Adams needs a fair chance, ie 6 weeks of regular normal work in the bigs to determine if he can cut it. Not this get called up, sit in the bullpen waiting forever, make one appearance or two over 3 games, produce like Jeykl & Hyde and get then get sent back to the minors.

 

Perhaps a low level/ lottery ticket prospect or cash considerations will be enough to get Adams into the Crew bullpen mix.

[And That]

He throws hard, but he's going to be 31 in August. Wouldn't be opposed to the Brewers claiming him, but at first blush giving up anything of value would seem like a reach.

 

I think the Brewers would be more likely to claim Pat Light. Also throws hard, and throws a splitter, and is about 5 years younger.

agreed. nothing of real value

Well, its not happening at this point.. Angels have taken the flyer via trade..
