Dipoto didn't have to clean up the mess that Dipoto left. 

I don't see Scioscia making the daily drive from Chatsworth to manage the Phillies.

Looking forward to more of this in Seattle thanks to the recent extensions for the GM and manager.  For as disastrous the past couple of seasons have been for the Angels, nothing like this has happened which speaks to the quality of the organization and the team.

I would give them both another year to show some durability before actively looking to move them.  They both might be candidates for the bullpen if they can't log the innings.

Who cares about ROY?
The most important question to ask regarding a rookie is "Who would you rather have?"  Given the options this year, Ohtani wins going away, even with a UCL injury.

Oh, did I mention he has accomplished that with an ulnar collateral tear? It's like he can beat these guys one armed. 

"Marc Topkin, Rays beat writer, Tampa Bay Times: “Ohtani had a good, solid season in a year when no rookie was that far and above. But his problem in the voting is that he didn’t have a great season. The injury time lost and the small stretches of inconsistency will cost him in that he didn’t live up to the hype. Perception may trump reality.”
Say what????
Speaking of solid rookies, Barria completes a rock solid rookie season of his own on Friday night.   And, is still only 22.

Scioscia is coming back!!
It makes sense if this is really the clubhouse reality.

Hell no.

I am beginning to see it that way.
I’m pretty okay with either decision made with Scioscia.   If they bring him back, don’t do it for any more than 2 years at a time this time.
