If the Halos are close to being a post-season team, is there confidence that Arte will go over the tax threshold for the right player?   

The right player is Mike Trout.

Can see the smoke pretty well in RSM.

You should definitely evacuate RSM.

That's unrelated to the fire, just general advice.

If he just made it up (or is spinning something dishonestly because he personally has an agenda) then yes he is.

He definitely made it up. I can tell because it doesn't confirm my personal biases.

Ken Rosenthal is the enemy of the people.

Trout with wrist injury.

Skaggs with groin injury.

Hmm.

WTF is going on in that clubhouse?

Too many "closed door meetings"

Inb4 Fletch strongly implies this is a fake injury to facilitate roster moves.

I don't know who is ultimately responsible for the variety of bad decisions over the last several years, but it is true that the same people who hired Reagins and Dipoto hired Eppler. It's ok to be skeptical.

Didn't the Angels stay out of the international market due to some fallout over a scandal?

Also, given the very clear shift in results as soon as Bane lost control and left, I've always been confused as to why he didn't land an equivalent job after. 

I remember Torii's BABIP was crazy in his final year and being fine with them moving on, thinking it was unsustainable. Turns out he just changed his approach and was able to repeat it for a little while longer.

Why did you believe that Jeff? We all knew the Astros was the team to beat, but with Kinsler, Upton, Ohtani, and Cozart most of us here thought we had a good chance to make the playoffs.

Because he's objective?

Old soul!!!

Give it a week, he'll have time on his hands.

Matheny was fired for failing at quite possibly the only thing that everyone agrees Scioscia is good at: keeping a quiet, drama-free clubhouse. It's really the Cardinals ownership and upper management that wants to frame this as ".500 baseball isn't good enough for this organization".

Agreed.

These days, it's all about what said free agent named his dog.

That's no way to talk about Mark Teixiera's wife.

When was the last time a guy signed a 9 figure free agent based on where his BFF was?

More clever roster manipulation by Eppler.

I’m truly not salty at all about Dipoto having success with Seattle.  This shit won’t last.  Inevitably he’s going to have to replace some of the older players or over performing players.  They have no internal options.  Seattle’s farm is approaching Dipoto Angels territory.  It’s only a matter of time.  They’re having some good luck this year.  They have some good players.  It is what it is.  I mean, they can keep the great Wade LeBlanc and friends. 

Are any of these coach or management contracts guaranteed?
