Depends.

Ocho comes from a generation of Americans that Luvs to be Pampers.

I hope they also interview someone from outside the Angels with a different style. Maybe someone from the Cubs, Astros, Red Sox or  Indians? Teams that have been winning recently for a few years.

That’s basically what Chavez and Paul are.

Has a manager ever had to go on the DL because they pulled a hamstring while exchanging lineup cards?

As far as I know, Maicer Izturis has never been a manager.

I meant someone who is not part of the current organization.

It would be easier than doing laundry, when you think about it.

You do know that if I was the manager of any of those teams, I’d be looking good.

Here’s the deal, trade the Angels 25 man roster for the Astros 25 man roster. Keep Sosh as manager and guess who wins the division.

I’m assuming Eppler brought them in from the Yankees because they brought a different perspective.  But I’m not positive on that.

I hope it’s Willits

We would be better off giving the job to Pujols ... think about it

Maybe then he would earn his salary?

Two... if you buy into his defensive value in 2002. 

He was superman in the OF back in 2002. He was flying all over the place for every ball hit his way, it was like watching someone play MLB the show with speed hacks.

He was the only 1st overall pick in Angels history.

[JarsOfClay]

I would have preferred a former angel like Erstad, but I think Chavez can do a lot for the team.

I like that the angels are going with an unconventional pick and more younger guy who can adapt to today's modern game.  And I'm actually excited about next season.

I have no clue what Chavez brings to the table  ... zero experience is the new phase nowadays 

 

No kidding. Elimination of white collar jobs by management is coming to baseball. 

 

"Alexa, should I send the runner on the next pitch?"

FWIW, I am highly skeptical of the idea that Eric Chavez is the favorite. It is not what I’ve heard. 

I’m starting to think it may not be Chavez, Paul or Ausmus. 

Maybe I’m wrong, but as of 7:23 am on Sept 26, this is what I believe. 

[Blarg]

At 7:39 am I'm wondering who you think the next manager might be.

We don’t know but we do know how he treats his current team and we know how he played the game.

My bet is that if Pujols doesn’t run hard on a ground ball  ... he’ll be riding the pine. 

Trout would love Erstad imo

College coaching is so far from the same thing as the MLB there is absolutely no basis for comparison.

[nate]

Anyway, this is my idea hire, younger coach that is not from the Scioscia coaching tree.

I'm just excited at the thought that Scioscia will be replaced.

And on top of it, Danny Goodwin was drafted first overall not once, but twice, by two different teams.
