This is awesome. I love how seriously Eppler is taking it.

I was gonna post that the angels should force each managerial candidate to write his starting lineup. If Pujols plays over Ohtani, throw his application in the shredder. If Pujols is hitting 3rd or 4th, put his application in the shredder. If Ohtani sits against lefites, put his application in the shredder. If Calhoun and his 250 obp is hitting leadoff put his application in the shredder.

Only bad managers do this. So the lineup card alone will give you an idea if the manager is bad or good.

I highly recommend Chuck doing the same thing in order to post on here.

Question 1

In your own words please explain how you would create an atmosphere in which Albert Pujols would retire?

Question 2

Explain in detail the differences between Tommy John and dehydration?

Question 3

Theory crafting: turning the page and one game at a time have been sore subjects with the fans. Explain in detail the different uses of your mantras to the media and catch phrases. 

Question 4

Are you in the best shape of your life? Explain in detail and compare and contrast

Stradling, no joke dude. I have this technology available for those who register here. 

Someone should start a new thread or PM with 5-10 questions that qualify for an email activation link if you pass, if not no dice.

I'm assuming I'd pass. But maybe not.

Does everyone think this test is a good idea? I know a manager has to be intelligent, bu it's not the equivalent of taking the SAT. I think, more than anything, a manager is about handling relationships. I'm not sure how a test shows that.

[arch stanton]

Maybe calling it a test gives you the wrong idea. Just consider it a long written job interview

Question 1. Are lasagna jokes funny?

Question 2. Multiple Choice, who is in charge of drafting players and signing free agents.  Is it A, the manager or B, the General Manager?

Question 3. Ia pitcher needs TJ surgery is it automatically the managers fault?  Is it automatically the training staffs fault?

The thing I like about this test is that it probably guarantees that the Angels won’t hire Joe Girardi.

1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how excited are you to troll the members of AngelsWin? (If lower than 10, you need not apply.)

1. Only in Garfield cartoons

2. C, the owner

3. The players fault for not having the same durability as Nolan Ryan.

....not graded on fat thumbs spelling, though.

I'd hate to see how Scioscia would've done on such a test.  He probably would've refused to take it, which actually says a lot about him as a manager.

A lot of you would miss me.  I’m sure you and the rest would find a nice place to post.

Because we always heard how dumb he was.

I specifically used “we” instead of “I” so you couldn’t use that comeback...
