LATimes- Scioscia Ranked Highly By MLB Execs

[Lou]

http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-angels-mike-scioscia-ranked-highly-mlb-executives-20150703-story.html

"In an annual ESPN survey of Major League Baseball executives, scouts, coaches and analysts, Scioscia was ranked the sixth-best overall manager, as well as the second-best tactician and third-best leader in the American League."'

[HeavenlyHalos]

"Scioscia, the longest-tenured manager in baseball, has one World Series title in 16 years with the Angels but has not won a pennant since 2003."

 

We went to the World Series in 2003, oh hell yeah! I must have been an alcoholic that year because I don't recall who we played.

[Halos of Anaheim]

That's cute.

[stormngt]

This thread will get absolute no traffic because it doesn't fit the narrative that Scioscia sucks.

[ELEVEN]

What a shitrag that once great paper has become.

[tomsred]

Proof readers must be in short supply at the LA Times, and at the Register.  Or maybe no one does that anymore, if it gets by the computer spell checker it must be okay.

 

Oh, and would it be too much to ask to see the full list?  Or, if the don't want to rub it in to the bottom dwellers, at least show the top 5 or 10.

Just wait until the Times buys the OC Register in October...

MS is the new Jeter in regards to being overrated by his peers.

So Scioscia day at every stadium in three years?

Thanks for the reference Lou.  While I was searching I also found this list of the top GM's by Sporting News.  Dipoto was ranked at 27 out of 30.

Ned Coletti was #10 on that list. What a joke.

[Hollyw00d]

1 playoff appearance in 5 seasons, zero playoff wins.

Oh wait, I forgot, that's dipoto's fault

Lol that was probably the worst analysis I've ever read.

Current last place GM Beane topped that list. I guess it was made before the A's tanked last season.

That's ridiculous to ask people to rank a list of 30 managers, GM's, whatever, and expect it to have any meaningful value.  I can barely keep track of 2-3 MLB teams at one time.  How would MLB execs focused 40, 60, 80 hours a week on their own teams be able to accurately rank this?

 

You can bet it's a name recognition popularity contest, with the good old boys voting for the good old boys.

or they want to make scisocia look good so one of their rivals signs Scioscia after he gets fired.

In the time he has been here, Dipoto has improved our ranking of overall organization talent from 30th to 28th!! Give him a 10 year contract and let him get us into the top 20.

Lol! That has to be one of the worst lists I've ever seen. Cherington, Colletti, Cashman, Daniels and Wren in the top 10, while guys like Huntington, Luhnow and Hoyer aren't? What a joke Edited July 4, 2015 by SoWhat

That was from May of 2104. Still, why the **** would Luhnow and Hoyer be included in the top 10? It must be tough to tank for a decade and hoard first-round picks.

Seven playoffs in 16 years.

not bad for a franchise that had three in the previous 27 years.

1 playoff appearance in 5 seasons, zero playoff wins.

Oh wait, I forgot, that's dipoto's fault

[mancini79]

Sosh getting 4.8% of the votes is considered "Ranked Highly"??

[Jobu]

Seven playoffs in 16 years.

So you mean back when only 4 teams made the playoffs, the Angels did so less often? And then when that number doubled, it happened more often? Interesting.
