• Former Padres skipper Bud Black has a great relationship with owner Arte Moreno and manager Mike Scioscia and Cafardo feels that talk of him becoming the Angels‘ GM bears watching.
• Meanwhile, Angels assistant GM Matt Klentak, he writes, may get strong consideration from both the Angels and the Phillies.  He worked for Andy MacPhail in baseball’s Labor Relations Department, so he has an in with Philly.  MLBTR wrote that Klentak was a strong GM candidate all the way back in 2011.

Hatcher or bust!

Interesting.....I wonder if the next GM will need the approval of both the owner and manager?

[CanadianHalo]

CJ for Puig!!!

[TroutCron]

Klentak and Sciocsia seem to have a good working relationship. I hope he gets the job.

[TroutField]

I really want Klentak, I don't want the stupid Phillies to snag him from us. As much as I think servais would excel, scioscia would ruin it and we would have another Dipoto situation from the rumors I have heard that Servais and Scioscia are enemies

[laagamer]

Why not just promote Scioscia to GMM (General Manager Manager)?

Hell, Arte should sell him part of the team as well.

Actually if you are a Sosh guy, you want Klentak to go to Philly. Mike won't go there if that happens.

AO isn't on the list? His moves would be awesome!

[bloodbrother]

I like Bud Black....as a pitching coach. Would not be a fan of them hiring him as a GM. Does he have any experience in an MLB FO at all? No thanks

[tomsred]

I'm good with either one, maybe like Klentak a little better.

It will be whoever's willing to accept the GM In Name Only position that Reagins had.

I would suggest Taco Bell.

I would suggest Taco Bell.

For what, a cleanse?

[Hollyw00d]

Lets be honest, scioscia will promote himself to GM/field manager

I honestly have no clue where this shit keeps coming from either.

 

Drives me nuts when someone is good at a certain position, then people think they are magically going to be great in another that they have never done before.

[Guest]

I'm over the whole GM thing, and I'm sick of hearing about it. I'm more interested in getting a decently LFer

[Stradling]

Pretty sure Bud Black was in the Indians front office, and is well respected as a guy that could handle most organizational positions on the field or in the front office.

[seenoevil]

Scioscia puppet

[Troll Daddy]

Whomever it may be ... I hope MS is part of the decision making process. I expect MS to around for the remainder of his contract.

Scioscia puppet

That is an awful thing to call Stradling. true, but awful. 😘

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Hell, Arte should sell give him part of the team as well.

 

Fixed.

[ukyah]

if bud black is hired as the angels general manager, then the question asking if the angels are the worst run organization will have been answered definitively. that would be retarded, literally retarded, as in a decision that a retard would make.

I wish the Angels could find a cure for their MS. Its really debilitating.
