Angels' deciding if C.J. Cron should sit bench or play in minors
Angels DH C.J. Cron is mired in a slump to start the season. Cron is hitting .200 with a .496 OPS.
As a result, Cron has seen his playing time dwindle, starting just twice in the last 10 games.
Of course, with limited at bats, it will be tough for Cron to find his swing. The question the Angels must answer is whether Cron should stay on the Major League bench or go down to Triple-A to get regular playing time.
"If you are getting at bats at the major league level you don’t have to get them seven days a week, but if you are getting them one day a week then there’s a discussion of what’s best for the team and what’s best for the player," manager Mike Scioscia said, per the Orange County Register. "C.J. has gotten enough at-bats where if he’s swinging like he can, he’d be contributing, but he hasn’t found that swing yet."
