    Upton ain’t going anywhere. 
    Having him on the roster as a part time player is probably okay I guess. Although his contract sucks.
     
    The issue is compounded by the fact that we also have Pujols and Ohtani. 3 guys that are essentially DH only. That’s 12% of the 25 man roster that is extremely limited.
    Based on that, Minasian has his hands full if he actually is going to commit to run prevention defensively. It’s not going to happen with Upton in left full time

    GrittyVeterans got a reaction from Angel Oracle in Keynan Middleton - no longer an Angel?   
    His on field performance wasn’t good last year though. He’ll get another chance elsewhere. His prior 2 seasons were good enough for that and he still throws hard.
    The Angels have enough hot and cold guys in the Pen with Robles, Buttrey, etc. 
    they need to invest in someone more reliable. I expect that to be one of the many priorities for Minasian going into a complicated offseason

    I am hoping that Minasian surprises us because none of the names being mentioned so far are blowing up my skirt.

    I think every player in MLB that took them believed it was worth it after they got paid.   His career will still be looked at as a lie.

    1.  I don't understand why an owner can't be involved in his own business operations.
    2. I don't have any evidence suggesting that Arte is the reason for the Angels missing the playoffs and struggling.
    3. Do I submit my resignation for being an Angel's Fan to you or someone else who is in charge?

    The areas that the front office needs to improve in include scouting, drafting and development.  Eppler had some good finds, but the turds he signed impacted the team more than the "good finds."  There was some bad luck on the pitching, but the Angels weren't the only team that needed to find pitching on the cheap.  Somehow, Oakland was able to construct a decent starting pitching staff from nothing, multiple times during Eppler's tenure.
    Maddon in an abbreviated season was able to help Walsh improve from being a AAAA player to a viable first baseman.  He was also, by all reports, instrumental in the re-emergence of Upton.  I'm not concerned about Arte.  I am more concerned about who the new GM brings in to help improve the areas that will consistently pay dividends.

    Moreno is a total disaster.
    the issue was never Reagins, Dipoto, Scioscia, or Eppler.
    I feel bad that I ever thought for a second it was

    We’ve been bad man.  Fine.  I mis spoke about the whole decade.  But for most of the decade we haven’t been meaningfully competitive and have mostly just been bad.

    I do feel that this is an example of the Twitter mob getting out of hand before all the facts are known, especially if you look at the comments on the tweet. Also I'm not saying that the Angels response closes the book on this, I'm more saying it would be nice to get all the information out there before everyone cancels Arte.
