Your Next Angels Manager Is...

Anyone is smarter than bunting early with this bullpen.

.... is also going to lose if the players continue to suck

I know he's a popular suggestion and he was a really popular player here and all, but I'm not as on board with Erstad as a potential manager as most.

 

I loved him as a player, but he seems to me like he would be another bunty/small ball type manager.

 

I don't know, I wouldn't be throwing things if they interviewed a bunch of guys including him and chose him, but I don't think that he would be my first choice either.

I'd be happy with any of

 

Don Baylor

Chilli Davis

Omar Vizquel

Mike Maddox

 

Would love to get Ersty but there's no way he leaves Nebraska.

Casey Stengal

 

stengel is buried here in glendale forrest lawn. i only know this because there used to be a hall of fame plague on the wall by his grave. went over to take a closer look and thought "that's kinda cool. i wonder where he's buried?" i was standing right on top of him.

 

i have no idea how he ended up out here. always figured he was a new york guy.

We need someone who can handle the veteran players as well as show patience to help develop the young ones. Somebody who understands saber metrics and can use the math as well as common sense. Scioiscia only does a couple of those things. It would be great to find someone who could do all of them.

[Futch Winkleman]

Mike Rice.

 

If any team deserves this guy, it's the Halos.

[Bob Trop]

Joe Maddon or Bud Black

Tim Wallach. You're welcome.

[jshep]

Tim Wallach. You're welcome.

I do think Wallach is a pretty decent candidate if Scioscia is gone.

Ad my understanding of his approach seems like it could mesh well with Dipoto.

[Marsaka]

Jose Mota

 

Honestly Mota is annoying in general, but he pretty much hits the nail in the head when he does his analysis at the end of the games.  I think he would do a good job as manager because at least he doesn't sugar coat things and sees them for what they are.

[Mark68]

Scott Spiezio

 

You're welcome.

[ten ocho recon scout]

No. He recently said that Nebraska is his dream job and he doesn't want to coach or live/raise his family anywhere else.

He can stay in nebraska and skype the lineup cards and postgame comments. Everyone wins.

I'm NOT in the "fire Scioscia" mob, but if a change is made the Angels should promote 3B coach Dino Ebel. Even though he works for Scioscia his manager's style, based on what I saw the year he managed in Salt Lake, is completely different. He was firey, aggressive, and the team played focused baseball. If Scioscia goes, give Ebel the job for the rest of the season and give him a chance to prove himself.
