I think you have it all wrong ... it's Dipoto that's been in hiding lately. At least Eppler has a excuse.

You know the nice thing about Eppler not talking is we don't have to read news stories about the players telling him to STFU....  

[arch stanton]

Speaking of STFU, I'm kind of amazed that anyone reads, much less responds, to posts by elixir.

Are people really serious ?

what is the guy supposed to do? Tell everyone it's going to be ok? 

[John Stellman]

I wouldn't show my face either!

I'm sure he waits at the mailbox every day to give the mailman shit about the Jeep he drives. Every day.

Let's stop mixing up AJ with other posters. You know he prefers his mailmen to ride bicycles and hand out free money.

I was happy with the Angels in Spring Training, which to me was a reflection of an organization working together.   I credited the newcomer, Eppler, with the improvement I saw.  Since then Eppler has done a lot of tinkering with the roster, presumably with a spending limit.  I'm assuming he had a good draft.

The one in hiding and the one who has disappointed me this year is Arte.  He blew off the reporters the first day in Tempe.  I don't remember hearing from him since.  I used to look forward to the occasional interview with candid answers to questions.   Makes me think he is ready to take his 1.x billion and go home.

Eppler is listening on Escobar.

Not talking, listening.

Better than dead silence...

He responded to rumors about trading Trout, saying Absolutely not, You don't trade super stars.

Arte has no obligation to do any talking about the baseball organization.  It's a private business, not a public company.  Owners should just hire the best people possible to run baseball operations and then get out of the way.  There is absolutely nothing he can say that won't get criticized anyway.  And, in Arte's case, many of the past things he has said are inflammatory, or at least they get interpreted that way, because he isn't a polished public speaker.

[California Cajun]

Overall,  I think Arte helped himself by occasional outreach to the fans.  We were briefed by the Man himself.

But you're right, he doesn't have to.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I don't know of too many other GMs who give periodic updates to the fans regarding their activities.

[tdawg87]

But Eppler just made bunk desks with Stoneman so now they have so much room for activities!

[beatlesrule]

I'm glad he's been silent.  It gives me hope he's working the phones trying his best to trade as many players as he can.

Eppler in today's LA TIMES after Halos fall into LAST PLACE in the AL WEST and now appear on the verge of getting swept by Oakland -- didn't we also get swept by Houston last week -- oh well, I digress.......but in light of the Halos' fall into last place and playing something like 2-9 ball over the past week plus --- Eppler announces that the Halos and the Halos front office, essentially, has NO PLAN forward other than to say we're constantly re-evaluating and seeking to improve.

Eppler seemed to say Halos won't be sellers or buyers (hopefully not unless you consider getting some decent prospects in return for Calhoun or Street or Smith, being 'buyers).

I see the Halos floundering for a few years here - may be a good time (2017 season) to make a change in the manager's chair -- maybe promote Ron Roenecke from bench coach to Manager - which would be for this 'floundering' period of about three years -- so Roenecke would essentially be our version of Byron Scott -- called upon to coach a team that everyone knows isn't going anywhere, isn't really improving in the short term but rather floundering through a few seasons while waiting for top draft picks and other minor leagues players to develop further..........

I previously predicted 88 losses for the Halos this year - I can now see it reaching about 93.

Arte must've seen this thread and gave Eppler a script to read.
