I have no idea if these reports of “advisors” having influence with Arte are true but not letting your GM make baseball decisions is not a good way to run a baseball team, or any business….

Considering Salmon and Finley were sent into the dugout, I think it’s fair to think they have some influence with Arte.

I get frustrated with Arte (we all do) but I don’t necessarily consider myself in the anti-Arte camp….but I have a hard time thinking this is a good way to run an organization, if it’s accurate. I’ll listen if you want to convince me otherwise….

I still think it’s going to be Buck and I still think it’ll be a joint decision.

Sick and tired hearing about Buck. We all know who it will really be. Why do you sign Buck with new GM coming in a year. It's rebuild time.

Another job opened up

 

[BTH]

I'd be shocked if that job goes to anyone but Joe Espada, but stranger things have happened I guess.

It sure looked like Baker quiet quit tonight in the 4th inning.

Did I miss a Dusty team winning a second WS or is the Athletic full of shit?

He won one as a player and one as a manager

I would probably still bet that way but it seems a little more uncertain....doesn't mean it won't be Showalter.

If Buck signs with halos wonder for how many years and how much. Why bring in a veteran manager to a team with so many young players. Teams in AL Seattle, Houston and Texas so far in front of Angels in talent.

All three of those clubs have veteran mangers over the age of 55.

Not sure if this LA Times article has been posted, but it has a few interesting names, like Benji.

They are teams with veteran players. Angels few years away from competing with them.

So if it’s not Buck and it’s Arte/his advisors making the call, do all signs point to Erstad?

Salmon and Finley are presumably his advisors, and they obviously played with Erstad.

I would love for it to be Erstad as I know his name has been bandied about as a potential candidate. But has anyone seen anything in print or otherwise from him saying he's even interested in the gig?

Giants ask permission to speak to Melvin, next day he is hired. Halos drag their feet about Buck he will end up in SD. Minasian has to get OK from Arte to do anything.

All the reports suggest SD will hire Shildt or Flaherty.
