    they do? That's news to me. They have special assistants to the GM, which is a completely different role than Assistant GM.

    Yep. And at the time, Dombrowski was more than content in Nashville. Middleton had to convince (practically beg) Dombrowski to leave Nashville and go to Philly. I’m sure Middleton made some assurances that Arte was never going to.

    your post inspired this research I did:

    I think he'll make it to the end of the season at least, simply because they don't have an obvious interim GM candidate. They remain the only team in MLB without an assistant GM, who would be the natural candidate for interim GM.

    He has to blow 10 games, and so far he’s only blown three.
  6. BTH
    Maybe they should hire you to teach baserunning

    Perry is stupid.
  8. BTH
    I don’t see that. Maybe a team would give a PTBNL to just the line after he’s DFAd, but he looks pretty cooked to me.

    I hope it’s not Moore. Got hit with the comebacker and struggled in his 2 outings since.

    Perhaps, though I don’t think the pen is in that bad of a shape coverage wise if they just DFA one of Fulmer/Suarez and add Kristofak. Estévez, Moore, García, Cimber, Strickland, and Cisnero should all be available.

    right back at you

    I guess it depends on what you want out of your leadoff hitter. I’d prefer someone who can get on base ahead of the middle of the order. He excelled in that spot last season, and I would’ve just left him in that spot to begin this season.

    I’d like to see: Schanuel Trout Adell Ward O’Hoppe as the 1-5

    I admittedly didn’t watch today’s game, but: Soriano’s 1st start, he got screwed by bad luck/defense. He was fine after the weird 1st inning where the ball kept pin-balling everywhere and Thaiss couldn’t locate the ball. His 2nd and 3rd starts were good. His 4th was bad, it appears.

    What makes you guys think Hicks could get DFAd and Paris get called up? Sano’s injury? I don’t see them cutting Hicks this early.
  16. BTH
    I think they phantom IL Cisnero or Fulmer and call up Bryan Shaw. Move Rendon to the 60-day IL for space on the 40.
  17. BTH
    This shouldn’t even be a thought processed by anyone with the Angels. What an embarrassment that’d be if they option Soriano after one bad start, while keeping a bunch of bad pitchers (Cisnero, Suarez, Fulmer). It’d be a stupid move and send an awful message to the clubhouse and fans.

    But Perry isn’t a bad GM, according to some on here.
  19. BTH
    It’s fine if you have an unlimited budget, but they don’t. Or at the very least, a substantially higher budget.
  20. BTH
    He’s the new C-Rod, unless something drastically changes. He’ll stick around for a few more seasons and then unceremoniously be gone.

    Good thing the Angels delayed Bachman’s start of the season to “manage his innings.” Everything related to Bachman has been moronic. The pick in the first place, moving him to the pen, Nevin overusing him in a short stint, “managing” his innings.
  22. BTH
    That’s why it’ll be interesting to look back years from now. Some of the guys you mentioned appeared to stall out, but now are contributing (some in a big way). Hopefully that’ll be the same for guys who are currently scuffling. Neto, Schanuel, Moniak, Bachman, Paris, Kochanowicz, Mederos, etc.

    If any baseball player were to walk away from the money, Rendon checks a lot of the boxes. Retiring could mean him working out some deal a la Strasburg (although I don’t think Arte wants to defer money).
  24. BTH
    Aging curves. Most players don’t hit free agency until their 30s, and most players start declining in their 30s.
  25. BTH
    I’ll be interested to revisit this in 3, 5, 7 years from now. It’s also possible the Angels will be bad for the next half-decade plus because Perry made bad picks and ran a horrible player development program for 4 seasons.
