Arte deserves credit for keeping Rengifo

[notherhalo]

True or false?

(Instead of Joc, Stripling)

[mmc]

No, because that’s not why he killed the deal 

[Jason]

False, Rengifo deserves credit for playing well. Kudos to the org having faith in a player they believed has the talent. 

[Lou]

Yes, he does. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Arte is hero and deserves… credit.

[Stradling]

Of course he does. 

[Slegnaac]

He has my vote for GM

[tdawg87]

We should ask the Dodgers what they want in a trade more often. 

[m0nkey]

Thank you, Arte!

[tomsred]

I'll say this, he totally surprised me.  Please, keep this up Regifo.  It gives me hope for Adel as well, could be on the same improvement curve.

[Taylor]

He's on a hot streak right now. Let's see if he can maintain a productive pace through the end of next season or if he fizzles out like Walsh.

Arte doesn't deserve S***

[BTH]

False.

Arte does not deserve credit for meddling into the Baseball Ops department.

And, as others have said, he didn’t nix the deal because he didn’t want to give up Rengifo. So that’d be giving him undeserved credit.

I had heard they wanted Rengifo and Ward for Stripling, Joc and Pages. 

That would have been a disaster.

Amen.

Petulant Arte killed the deal cuz he's like a spoiled toddler who wasn't getting his way. Fortunately, it turned out the way it did but that was a total accident. He deserves no credit.

[T.G.]

Arte doesn't need anyone's credit.

[khouse]

The fact the Rengifo is still with the club is, indirectly, due to Arte's kibosh on the deal...

Then he doesn’t deserve blame.  I’m good with that.

Yep.  Those two and a prospect for Stripling, Joc and Pages.

If he doesn’t deserve credit then he doesn’t deserve blame.

After watching the Baseball Ops department for the last couple years, someone should be meddling because they have sucked.

He does deserve blame.

If he wants to nix trades, then he should just name himself the GM. Otherwise, let the GM that you hired make the trades that he believes are best for the team.

I'm talking about the Eppler regime, not the current one.

And if Arte lost trust in that Baseball Ops department, he should've just fired them and hired someone he does trust instead of meddling with the Eppler group.

Thank you Arte, very cool!
