It seemed like a peculiar move to make for the Los Angeles Angels, sending C.J. Cron to the minors a day after he jump started the Angels offense in New York with a grand slam as part of a 12-run outburst. However this move has been one that has been several months in the making.
When the Angels acquired Luis Valbuena in late January it should have sent up warning flags to both C.J. Cron and Jefry Marte. Valbuena like Marte can play multiple positions and he is also a left-handed power bat that the Angels have coveted.
