A friend of mine came across gloss that could be used if (hopefully not so) Eppler turns out to not be the answer.

If this happens will this make you the "Inept Oracle"?

I am sort of that already.

Nah, you're our Oracle, every site needs one.

lol @ communication being the problem with Dipoto.

 

and double lol @ Eppler being hired for his communication skills.

i don't see the pedigree on eppler and i think i'm well versed in scioscia's definition of "communication". truth be told, i'm very down on this organization at this point. i fully expect key FO personnel to move on. that'll leave us with arte, who i used to really respect, but now see him as his own version of steinbrenner in the 80's. eppler, a neutered nobody. scioscia, the man who wanted the power and got it.

Maybe this will end up being a great hire but I'm hesitant to get excited for a guy who came from an organization whose philosophy was to just throw lots of money at free agents.

Let's see if I can do this right:

I agree.

Jerry is irreplaceable but I will open my mind and see what this guy can do, I hope he can succeed and fill the big shoes of Jerry. Stonehead was a joke, he made some horrible decisions @ the FA deadline, which made the team worse that it was before the trades

my oh my, at this point, and with much of us here, we see Eppler as someone who can walk on water and suck a hard boiled egg through a garden hose. my oh my

I mean, we don't know how good or bad he is until he starts making his mark so I'm indifferent on this but happy that the GM situation is settled

 

 

I assume Klentak, Servais, Hal Morris etc will be moving on. More FO turnover! I hope this new regime can get this team some offense in the offseason. That'd be nice

Hooray for me not making a kneejerk reaction!

So many of the usuals look horrible in this thread.

This is the guy I wanted to see as GM four years ago. Thank you Arte.

Should we find all the posts about how the Angels should have hired an experienced GM, or that they should have hired a president of baseball operation instead of Eppler?  That was one of your fun narratives for awhile. 

[T.G.]

I'm just thankful Eppler understood that we are not a patient group and that he got all this done before Christmas.  Now we can enjoy the holidays by making fun of Dipoto.

This can't be the main thread... only 7 pages on this?

Gotta be some other long Sosh thread from around that time about how he's the one controlling the org so whichever person they brought in as GM didn't matter. Maybe that explains why this thread is so short

He gets labeled a "numbers wiz" because he's young and didn't play baseball, but he's "not real versed in" it. 

 

Worst of both worlds? Lovely.

Man I saw this and thought "Holy crap I have to go see what I said in this thread!" and then I went through page by page and realized, I too, smartly reserved my right to remain silent!
