That is not true. Texas he never got them past 3rd in their division. Baltimore he finished 5th his first two years and 5th his last two. Given a talented team he does well. But he isn't any miracle worker. 

 

No manager is.

Especially these days when it's a team of smart people strategizing, not one old guy going by his gut.

Who might that manager be? Arte is not going to pay someone with a 5 year deal. He wants to go cheap just like the GM position.

Odd change considering he once gave Scioscia a ridiculous ten year deal.

Scioscias agent should be in the Hall of Fame.

That sucks

Fuck yall for any other sentiment

So...you think Perry should stay for, essentially, doing his job as a GM?

He found a good young catcher, shortstop, and first baseman in about a year.  That's impressive.

Now they’ll throw him more strikes so he needs to start scalding it a bit 

Yes!

I hope so.   Even if not.... we've got a solid 1b

I am so impressed.   

He's not gonna get attention until/unless he hits for power, but what a find.  Props to Perry and his team.

Neto and Ohoppe too.

Perry has to stay.

This guy needs another thread about him.

Yeah, I'm just taking this year as a nice flash in the pan, best possible case scenario for Moniak.

He has a 2.8% BB rate and around a .400 BABIP.  I'm thinking more like a .240/.270/.440 line is more realistic.

Which is worth something.  With good defense.  A cheap salary.  Maybe he and Adell are part timers next year.  They really need Ward to come back and play well.  Oh, that Trout guy, too.

Believable considering the joke that is the radio broadcasts. 

It's so weird what he chooses to skimp on.  Is that why Andrew Friedman didn't come.... I forget....

Mickey Moniak is not gonna hit .290 and slug .500 if he has the worst walk rate and the six worst strikeout rate in MLB.

An article came out last year saying that was about $10 million a season. 

I know, but that isn't  exactly reliable.  I'm also not sure they don't share a portion of almost everything.   

Ad revenue. Right?

Surprised they didn't refer to him as Mike Carp or Steve Trout.

Note to Phil Nevin-if Escobar bunts the runner to 3B, the infield chopper scores him.  You may want to consider this at some point.

The infield chopper may not have happened.

Ohtani isn’t getting $600 million. If he gets $500 million it will be for 12-14 years. I think he gets around $450 over 10-11 years from someone. 

I'd agree, but that other revenue that nobody else comes close to bringing in....

That you don't have to share with other clubs.

It's hard to guage how much that is worth.  We've heard estimates but are they accurate? 

Not fast enough to lead off?  This isn't 1980.

Wtf

50% chance he plays in Anaheim

Me, too.

Crappy end to his Angels career if he does move to a new team.
