  1. Yeah...almost like the entire point of my response. Just not a fan of contrarian posts that I find/feel to be dismissive...
  2. Well...my take that Perry looks ill at-ease must have been completely wrong then. So, in the future...should I/everyone just check with you before we post?
  3. Um...found this & thought I'd share. As I watched it...I kinda got the feeling that maybe the reports of Arte keeping things to himself could indeed be true. As the vibe from Perry...seemingly, is that of a guy who's about to be whacked but doesn't know when it's coming... https://www.mlb.com/angels/video/perry-minasian-on-angels-future?t=t108-default-vtp
  4. LOL...if there was ever a meme to describe the Angels fan experience...this is it!
  5. Given his history of poor free agent signings...I have every confidence Perry will find someone else to do it.
  6. Yeah well, obviously Mr. Warren got that wrong. But, he attributes Arte's supposed interest in a president of baseball operations to what The Athletic is reporting...
  7. I can only hope that what is being reported is, indeed, genuine. As, if so, the light may have indeed "gone on" (albeit very oddly) for Arte while giving hope to many fans as well... https://www.si.com/mlb/angels/news/angels-owner-keeping-managerial-decision-and-front-office-future-close-to-the-vest-according-to-reporter-pw2001 After firing their manager Phil Nevin as the Angels' season collapsed, Arte Moreno is reportedly interested in hiring a President of Baseball Operations. Perry Minasian is the Angels' general manager. It is unclear what the addition of a PBO would do to Minasian's responsibilities. According to FanSided's Robert Murray, Moreno is leaving much room for speculation as the Angels front office could evolve in the offseason.
  8. Yeah...I know you weren't suggesting this but let's not pretend that this is a good thing...
  9. https://www.mlb.com/news/angels-davis-daniel-spins-dominant-second-outing-in-fall-league?t=arizona-fall-league-coverage Daniel’s impressive outing Saturday was all the more noteworthy because it came against a Javelinas lineup that has hit .302 as a team and is the only Fall League club with more than 100 runs scored (108). Then again, having a starter that has already faced the Cleveland Guardians, Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics is a pretty good way of cooling even the AFL’s hottest bats.
  10. Looking into the hire a little more...I found the last few lines of this article interesting. As the hire was made by a similarly "lame duck" GM who turned to a "familiar face" as manager as I suspect Minasian will do in recommending/hiring Showalter... As for Melvin, he’ll now take over another team in need of a culture change. After winning 107 games in 2021, the Giants are 159-163 over the last two seasons, and Kapler’s hands-off managerial style was starting to seem more like a detriment than a plus. Several Giants players, either on or off the record, felt the club was somewhat directionless, with Logan Webb outright stating he felt “we have to make some big changes in here to create that winning culture.” These criticisms extended not only to Kapler but to president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, whose contract is believed to run only through the end of the 2024 season. As such, Zaidi is also certainly feeling the pressure to build a contending roster, and the Giants are expected to be aggressive shoppers this winter after missing out on both Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa as a big-ticket addition last offseason. Faced with what might be a make-or-break scenario, it probably isn’t surprising that Zaidi has turned to a familiar face as manager — Zaidi previously worked as the Athletics’ assistant GM during Melvin’s tenure in Oakland. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/10/giants-to-hire-bob-melvin-as-manager.html
  11. I would love for it to be Erstad as I know his name has been bandied about as a potential candidate. But has anyone seen anything in print or otherwise from him saying he's even interested in the gig?
  12. Um...mess? You might contend that in his defense but how do you explain the quote below where coming into the job, Minasian saw a team "close to competing"? Which, again, was a ridiculous (bordering on blind) statement for him to make. But, no doubt, was said to appease/endorse the nonsense that Arte/the front office was stating at the time as well... "We don’t feel like we’re that far away — we don’t," Minasian said. "I think we’re closer than what our record might show to competing." https://www.si.com/mlb/angels/news/angels-news-gm-minasian-thinks-halos-are-close-to-contending-rm94
