Who will manage the Angels in 2019?

[T.G.]

Let's get this started now...

[TroutField]

I’m thinking Ausmus or Paul since they are already in house and I think they are younger new age style guys that Trout is already familiar with. It would be an easier transition, in my opinion since they already know the players, staff, way things operate, etc.

The moment that Ausmus was added to the front office, I found it curious.  I think him spending all this time with Eppler, evaluating talent, getting to know the Angels, etc. is telling.  I may be wrong, but my gut says - Ausmus is lined up to take over.  I don't know if its contingent on whether or not the Angels' make a play-off run or not.  I don't know if this is a good or bad thing either... it's just my two cents on the future.

I really don't understand Erstad's name always coming up on this subject.

My take is Ausmus wants to be a GM.  He has now checked off the box for having manager experience.  If he wants to be a GM, why on earth would he go back into the dugout?

I haven't seen anything that makes me think that - but I really have no idea. It's just my gut feeling - nothing more or nothing less.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was Ausmus or Paul since they know the organization. 

I would like to see Mark Langston as the pitching coach.

There is something very meta about this....

I voted for Scios, just for the lulz.

But where would we be without his legendary color commentary?

Lou let me smoke in the clubhouse. He's good people.

[JarsOfClay]

I think it will be Ausmus. I'm hoping it's Erstad or Percival. 

Langston pitching coach, Chili Davis hitting coach. That's my dream team.

[Pujols4MVP]

Erstad, his first order of business he hires Salmon as his hitting coach, Garret Anderson as 1B coach, Eckstein as 3B coach, Percival as pitching coach & Spiezio as his bench manager.

[Blarg]

That would be a nice looking disaster.

[YouthofToday]

Why do folks think Scioscia won’t be reupped? I’m genuinely confused here. Did I miss something in the news of late. 

[krAbs]

My gut says that Eppler is the kind of guy who wants to hand pick a manager. He appears to have a well defined baseball philosophy, and will likely want a coach that fits in exactly with it. It's possible that scioscia is that guy, but that would be quite the coincidence.

 

My guess is the favorite would be one of the two guys listed who have been hired by Eppler to work in the organization already.

[Billy_Ball]

Ausmus, Paul or Girardi
