2000 had 

1. Darin Erstad

2. Adam Kennedy

3. Mo Vaughn

4. Tim Salmon

5. Garret Anderson

6. Troy Glaus

7. Scott Spiezio

8. Bengie Molina

9. Benji Gil

That's the year Erstad hit .355, Kennedy drove in over 70 runs, and... oh yeah, Vaughn, Salmon, Anderson, and Glaus were the first time any team had 4 players hit 30+ homers (Glaus led the league with 47). 

If that team had ANY pitching at all (and-- spoiler alert-- it didn't), they could have won the West and been a serious WS contender. Unfortunately, while that team scored a whopping 864 runs, they gave up 869. So that awesome lineup managed 82 wins.

If the GM and the Manager aren't on the same page about everything, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Healthy conflict can lead to better overall decisions... the key is healthy conflict. As long as Scioscia and DiPoto are able to discuss their differences and come up with solutions that are best for the team, it's actually good they don't always see eye-to-eye. 

On the other hand, if they instead choose to quietly seethe over things they don't agree about, the result could be negative. Personally, I'm confident that they're both professionals and will use healthy conflict to the organization's benefit.
