why does he have to have had no clue? why can't it be that he did have a clue, but the angels are just running bad now. they can't do anything right it seems. haven't you ever been in a rut before? sometimes, it takes time to get out of it. doesn't mean you should be happy about it, but see it for what it is, rather than gross incompetence. i do feel that scioscia and coaches should go, but that's my opinion, for other reasons than that "he sucks".
they brought greinke in for a playoff push, they made him a huge contract offer, but the dodgers went haywire and made him the highest paid rh pitcher in the game. should he have signed him to that contract? that would have been as big a mistake as any other huge FA signing.
things just aren't going the angels way recently, it's called paying the piper and it's because of the previous regime and the lasting effects of it. should they have kept all of their prospects and gone for a rebuild two years ago? totally valid question.
everything else is just sour milk.
