Curtis Pride was interested in the position, but he hasn't heard back from the team.

But the Angels are still interested in signing him.

If they met with Tori and not Benji, despite him being there for Spanish language broadcasts, I’ll be so annoyed. 

Me too as I hope Gil is the guy...

genuinely asking: why?

I haven't seen anything in his two years with the Angels to suggest that he'd be a good manager.

The Mexican league or the WBC ain't the majors.

The logical thing to do would be to announce the manager signing today, that way you enter free agency and the free agents would know who they’d be playing for.

You’re right, that would be logical.

Which means it won’t happen.

@Jeff Fletcher even if you can’t tell us who, do you have an idea or do you know if they have their sites set on someone to manage.

Tim Salmon’s name has come up as a potential interviewee…

Salmon was before my time watching the Angels, so I’d be interesting in hearing thoughts about him from those who did see him play.

From my view, just seeing him on TV, and looking back at his career, it seems like he’s more like Trout. A relaxed, calm personality rather than a fiery guy.

Is that right or wrong?

Yep, he had his fiery moments, but he is more reserved, he was a routine guy.  He had a great approach at the plate and a strong arm in the outfield.  Early in his career I remember him being a plus defender in RF.

@Jay, just curious about the face palm emoji. You don’t think Fletcher has information he doesn’t share? Of course he does. I am not asking him to share the names, but if he is aware they have a guy, but it hasn’t been announced or that they strongly favor one guy, that is what I am asking.

I've heard past teammates say Salmon had "Timmy vision."  He was so focused on his own routine that he didn't always know the names of the guys in the bullpen.  Or something along those lines. 

This was at an Awards dinner for him. I wasn't sure if they were just busting his balls or what.

Expect an announcement at the GM meetings during the next 3 days.

[Angels 1961]

Tori Hunter will be named on Monday.

Is this just a guess or sourced info?

I always thought Salmon was a guy who did his business. Not the type to display a lot of emotion. It wasn’t until the 2002 WS that I saw he could show some emotion.

It’s weird how quiet Angels reporters are about the manager search.

I’m sure they haven’t been, but it feels like they’ve been sworn to secrecy.

Thought everyone said they talked to Tori briefly at a card convention in Texas?

Just a wild guess.
