I’m now hearing Erstad hasn’t even been discussed or interviewed for the job.

Interesting.

I’m surprised he hasn’t even been discussed.

Maybe they knew he doesn’t want the job?

Torii last played in 2015 and was a special assistant in the Twins front office as recently as 2021.

Salmon last played in 2006.

Somehow you don't get that I don't give a damn if they played for the Angels or when. I want someone that has managerial experience instead of plopping some guy in the role and hoping he can figure it out. That experience needs to come from on field and not as a title in the front office.

Or the front office that succeeds him next year.

Your hate for Perry is funny. Twitter would love you.

I voted other, because my real answer is, does it even matter?  

I had listed a few guys from other organizations minor leagues in another thread. Those are really no name guys and the poll is all known recycles so I picked other.

I'm sorry but the defense of this guy after three terrible seasons, with the upper level talent befuddles the mind. 

And everyone on this board used to like Maddon, but now, you all hate him. Still when you read his book and see what he was saying, and add that to the "baseball nerd", suspect management moves, issues with the media, increase in injuries, and fractured clubhouse / management.. plus decline in fundamentals, increase in injuries......

 

Well, blame Arte, blame Perry, blame Nevin, or Maddon or Carpino or even Wise,  I just want the team to be good again.

We hate Maddon because we paid attention.

Not surprised at all to learn that "names being mentioned" is complete bullshit.

Yep, that was my thought as well.

I didn't hate him. And I watched a lot of games. He is unique for sure, but we were all excited to have him after Brad Ausmus was forced on us in 2019. 

I'm torn on what I want. I either want a veteran established winning manager, or I want a younger ex-player that can learn on the job with a veteran bench coach. Hunter being my pick, with Ebel being the bench coach. He seems like he could be a good manager, as he was always one of the smartest players and beloved in the clubhouse.

If we want experience, how about Soupy Sales.

If you want someone with experience getting hit in the face with a pie, sure.

I see we have moved into a Dipoto like time where some claim "everyone" clearly loved Maddon and nobody disliked him until after he was gone.

You just like Tori because he considers Sosh a mentor.   So shallow.

[Ron Mexico]

I would take David Ross now over anyone that has been mentioned 

[James]

Ross and Napoli. Heard a lot of good things about Napoli in Chicago and it would just be ironic (and funny) too.

I’d be OK with that

I wonder how many names on this list will end up managing any MLB team in 2024?

[AngelStew43]

Erstad or David Ross.

It will be greater than the number of teams that hire Nevin to be their manager this season.

And you just hate Scioscia and everything affiliated with him, since you're a glorified troll. (Or Phil's Cousin, maybe).

Hubs....I just reached "Hall of Fame" status on my AngelsWin Profile, and I did it in under 2000 posts, which may be a record.

In celebration of that accomplishment, I will let you in on a tidbit.  I think Sosh was did a great job as manager.   I also had the pleasure of sharing my season seats with his son, and chatting about Angels baseball among other things.

I tend to support leaders who give a maximum effort and put their heart and soul into the job.
