When will LA Angels prospect Edgar Quero make his MLB debut?

The top prospect in the Los Angeles Angels system is Logan O'Hoppe. He's considered the catcher of the future, and for good reason. It's very possible he makes the Opening Day roster, and if he performs, it'll be hard not to get very excited about him and his future.

The Los Angeles Angels are reportedly interested in signing catcher Gary Sanchez. With the Angels catching situation being a little up in the air, I can understand why they'd do this.
