At this point I would say changes first need to be made on the Coaching Staff. Not just Nevin. Clear the deck. There needs to be a philosophical change in the culture of the Coaching Staff. As much as Matt Wise has done wonders for some of our youngsters, what veteran Free Agent, front of the rotation pitcher, is thinking Wise is the Coach that will help move his career forward? You think a Verlander or a Gerrit Cole is thinking Wise is the guy that's going to help him be successful? Has Jeremy Reed improved any Angel hitter? All I see from our hitters seems to be being choosy looking for a pitch to drive, as strike 3 pops into the Catchers mitt. Heck, even the kids from Hawaii proved you can still hit a ball over the fence without the pitch actually being a strike, lol. I am being facetious. But I bet Brandon Marsh is far happier he's now working with Kevin Long ,as opposed to looking lost and confused in the Angels lineup.
Angels need to prove to whoever the new owners are, that they actually have a plan in place that will take their new investment in a forward direction. It's starts with the Coaches. Perry needs to make these changes as well as hire personnel to dive in and provide a guidance for improving the Farm System. This needs to be done now. If Arte thinks Perry can't get this done, then Arte needs to find a GM who can. The infrastructure has to change. Adding players is just a small part of the equation.
