Fcking Dipoto

[m0nkey]

Chris Taylor for Zach Lee (who was with the mariners for all of 6 months).

 

Fucking clown 

[Blarg]

And this is important enough to start a new thread?

Yes

[Tank]

Wait, was Taylor an Angel?

[Blarg]

No. Monkey is just whacking his monkey over Dipoto's mistake as the Mariners GM.

It’s well established that Jerry Dipoto is a massive fuck up as a player evaluations guy. 

[Season Over]

Replacing Greinke with Blanton and Hanson is still my favorite Dipoto screwup. There are so many fun ones to choose from.

[Docwaukee]

It's ok.  Zach Lee has been amazing with the M's so far.  Or he got plucked off waivers and then released by the Pads.

Doesn’t touch the Baldoquin incident.

The Angels at the time should’ve hired Damon Oppenheimer when they had their chance. He would’ve rebuilt the farm by now. The “thank you Jerry” chants still haunt this organization.

People up here in Seattle are quickly realizing that Dipoto sucks big time. 

[Hubs]

Baldoquin cost us Vlad Jr. that's his worst screw up

Luiz Gohara, Zack Littell,  Ryan Yarbrough, Freddy Peralta, and Alex Jackson all agree.

They just need to give him time to fully implement his plan...

Heres some irony. We all jumped on board with him when he got rid of mathis. Thats pretty much all it took. Mathis hits a jack this year in the playoffs, 5 years or so later.

Aside from the moves at the big level, dis dipoto and company draft anyone who has either helped us or is close at least?

He actually boasted about his acquisition of Chris Iannetta. Now six years later people are asking to get Tyler Chatwood back.

There is some truth in the criticism of Dipoto.

But there is also some truth in this:  when you have no high impact prospects, and you think you need a few bodies to compete now, then you don't hesitate to move the marginal minor leaguers for OK major leaguers or role players.

If you then don't win, you get crushed by people saying you wrecked the farm or didn't build the farm and also didn't win.

But the reality is the farm was bad and the big club wasn't a winner either way.

I am not a Dipoto "fan" but I just see his situation with the Angels (and also with Seattle) as a stuck in the middle, no win situation.

Chris Taylor is exhibit A that there's some new form of PEDs in baseball.  No one saw this coming. I think I could name 12 players that fit his mold. 

[Dtwncbad]

I know one player in the bigs right now from Southern California that has not much of a relationship left with his old with school player friends because he yoked up on roids and other PED from his senior year in HS until he reached the majors.  They all know it and find it lame.  The player has this condescending defensive attitude towards his old teammates in denial that his success is tied to PED.  Nobody likes people in denial that are rude about it.

We all want PED put of the game and it isn't the hottest subject right now but it is prevalent.

He replaced Greinke, Santana, and Haren with those clowns

Wish I could like this one ten times.

[Angel Oracle]

Still LOL at Dipussy and gang seemingly acting like they found Johnny Bench, when Taylor Ward was available to draft, generally 2-3 rounds before he should have been.

That was a bad pick.  For me, no catchers in the first 10 rounds.  I'd rather have live arms and potent bats.

It's not like he was a schleb either..  Taylor's career line in AAA is .313/.392/.464 over 1100+ PAs...   No idea if he's using, but his being a hitter isn't a real shock --  he put up an 894 OPS as  23 year old in his first taste of AAA and essentially kept his line within the same range from that point on.

Except he did nothing to fix it.  Eppler had to start from scratch because pretty much all of Dipoto's drafts completely sucked.  His trades sucked, his free agents signings sucked.

He sucked.
