When will Joycey finally be 86'd?

[Stradling]

With Dipoto gone, it ain't happening. He was the only one who would take away Scioscia's toys, the sad veterans hitting below .200 who he kept running out there very day.

Um Dipoto brought him in and Dipoto had watched him get about 200 at bats and did nothing, so, yea.

Stoneman released Hillenbrand in relatively similar circumstances.

[Lhalo]

Crazy how he's only had 1 hit since July 8th. I can't recall a player this atrocious. 

 

edit: and yes, Ibañez was better.

And don't forget he almost killed Trout running down a fly ball out there.

Twice.

[Pujols4MVP]

Is all the desperation worth giving up another young guy?

It's clear as day the Angels need a competent LF to make a deep run, and GMs know they've got them by the balls.

Some of you act like LFs grow on trees and Stoneman can just pick one tomorrow.

This place will be "make a move. Make a move. Make a move" and then a deal will be done and it will either be "this guy we got sucks" or "why did we give up that guy for a rental."

Our farm isn't loaded anymore. No team is just going to give us the piece.

 

True. It puzzles me how teams like the RedSox & Yankees can get players in trades without giving anything up.

Should we break out the encyclopedia of Mathis?

[hen3ry]

Mathis at least made up for it with the glove.

True, but in the past Dipoto unloaded guys like that. I believe that he would have dumped Joyce as well.

[stormngt]

He had ample time and justification to do it before he left. What makes you think he would do something different?

This wasn't a typical year in the front office, in case you missed it.

[Homebrewer]

Shea Hillenbrand:   Hillenbrand signed a one-year contract with the Angels on December 26, 2006. On June 27, 2007, he was designated for assignment a day after being quoted as saying, "If I'm not going to play here, give me enough respect to trade me or get rid of me."

 

Let the good times roll..

Just give him a little more time. He'll pick it up.

Stop with the reality -- the narrative is all that matters.   Don't bring up the record post Dipoto, it means nothing.  Jerry is the reason this team is doing well unless it's doing poorly then it's MS fault.   Hope this helps and that your posts are more in line with the narrative moving forward.

Not sure where this off-the-wall summary came from. Scioscia has a long history of overplaying guys who aren't hitting, and that isn't even debatable.

He's absolutely right.

It comes from reading this message board and watching as opinions that ignore all reality become facts.

It does seem like Scioscia takes after the Statue of Liberty. Bring me your poor, your washed up skills.
