I don't know about Josh Paul.  I think he's 100% a Scioscia guy.  Think about the days when the Angels carried 3 catchers and one of them was Paul... it was somewhat of a waste of a roster spot.  And then there's the whole 2005 play-off fiasco with Pierzynski...   I think Josh Paul is 100% a Scioscia hire. 

No. 

Eppler and Paul spent more time together with the Yankees than Paul spent as a player with the Angels. Eppler got to see him work as scout, manager, player development guy, not just a player. 

If I had to pick one guy on earth to be the next Angels manager, it would be him.

Thanks for setting the record straight.  Anytime someone sheds the light on situations we know little about, it's a good thing.

If we had a player/manager would that free up a roster spot on the 25 man? 

[Stradling]

Eppler’s manager is going to suck if his players bat .100 with runners in scoring position.  

[Dick B Back]

Eppler’s manager is gonna suck if streaky Trout doesn’t get off the pot. He also needs to be swinging at pitches close to the strikezone with 2 strikes.

Nope.  I am glad Erstad is in the past.  I got so tired of him as a player.

I was more fatigued by seeing Erstad in the lineup everyday than I have ever been fatigued by all these years of Scioscia.

If he’s available to play, he uses a spot on the 25-man roster, regardless of what else he does. 

And I can’t imagine that ever happening in the majors leagues again.

Just to clarify... "pick" or "predict" ?

Predict. 

If I got to pick, I’ll have to think about that one...

EDIT; Probably Ron Washington. (Admittedly, I’m not picking based on the same criteria as you or the Angels. Can I pick a whole roster too?)

I know what you're thinking but no. 

hahaha.  OK.  We would kill two birds with one stone though.

[Jeff Fletcher]

Man, if this board hates Albert Pujols as a player, I can’t imagine how you’d treat him as a manager.

[Blarg]

Post game comments would be a riot with Mang and Mota.

Imagine all of the stupid people on here still being stupid, it is pretty easy to imagine.  

[Stradling]

Eppler’s manager is going to suck in games where Trout goes 0-3 with 3k’s.

Do you think Albert is actually hated and mistreated?

I don't.  I love Pujols.  But he sucks now.

I am a fan, yes, but that doesn't require me to be dishonest, does it?

100 RBI's mang...so no....you suck

[Adam]

I think Simmons' teeth will be the next manager

[kevinb]

I don’t care who Eppler’s manager is because I don’t want him as the gm anymore. So I don’t care who he GMs for next and who he chooses be that teams manager. If this team finishes 4th or 5th in the division both Mike S and Eppler are gone. 

[Blarg]

Kevin, you're in such a world of hate. Maybe baseball isn't your sport because it really takes a long time to build a team from the ground up like Eppler has had to.

Follow the Lakers. They are buying up three guys to mix with what they have and will be competitive next year. That should work with your need for instant gratification. 

Meanwhile we will suffer along without you.
