I am very much in the “keep Minasian” camp. It seems to me that Minasian has more influence with Arte than DiPoto or Eppler did. Maybe he’s more aggressive (Eppler always seemed to be a “go along to get along guy). 
He’s put together a good young core of players to build around. Would like to see him keep that going while going into another draft and waiting for some of the young international players to come up through the system. 
 

So, basically they are bringing in these guys:

I don't have any issues with what Minasian has done to this point.  I liked that they went "all in."  It didn't work out.  That's baseball.  It happens.  I think most people know that a general rule about life is that if you're not willing to fail, you're not willing to succeed.

Yeah, not sure this is going to happen. Major leaguers are like a group of Yentas. They talk among themselves but try to keep it within the circle. Besides, what is the upside of telling? 

Spoke to a former major league player and he confirmed it’s pretty much universally acknowledged that Rendon is considered a bad teammate. I know, not a shocker. 
What I don’t understand is what type of background did Arte and Eppler do before he was signed. You would think some type of basic due diligence would have provided enough information so that they could make an informed decision. 

That’s fair. It used to be that reporters spent a number of years with the same team. Now they turn over much more frequently so there may not be the level of trust. I would think that Jeff Fletcher has some great relationships with certain players. Sam Blum not so much. 

DiPoto was given much more latitude to tear down the team he inherited and stock minor league talent. Neither Eppler or Minasian had anything resembling that chance. It’s not like DiPoto lit it up during his tenure in Anaheim. 
Apples to oranges comparison.

Same here (user name makes it obvious). Lou was far and away the most clever person on this board. Amazing what he could do with a 3 word response or resurrection of a 3 year old thread. Rest in peace Lou.

Minasian needs to stay. I have much more trust in him rebuilding the team than Eppler or DiPoto.

And I guess that Eppler still believes some of these guys have high ceilings.

This entire interview thing is brutal. Glad I have 1/4 of my screen to watch the actual game.

Of course, having an owner who is willing to pay $108,000,000 in Payroll Tax also helps. I’m pretty sure if some of the posters on here had that kind of money to spend they could come up with a pretty competitive lineup as well.
