If Arte Moreno is really looking for a POBO, Ng would be a fine choice.  Especially since Theo will turn the job down.  
While we are at it, can't we bring back Eddie Bane in some type of role?  Assistant POBO?

We are at the bottom.  Just a reminder.  The 2001 team went 75-87.  The 2002 team went 99-63, without a major rebuild.  
As of now, we still have Trout, Neto, Schaunel, Ward, Adell, O'Hoppe, Sandoval, Estevez, Detmers, and more.  So, there is plenty of talent here, and a lot of room for improvement.  

I think we have a good chance, better than some people think.

My point in this whole discussion is that the Angels have other players on their roster with considerably less potential than CRod.  
They could have outrighted any one of them, and continued to let CRod rehab through the winter, and into spring training next season before making a determination as to where he fit in the organization.

Escobar is going to be a FA, all our potential FA's will be removed from the roster once they file.  For the Angels purposes, I used Rosenberg and Fletcher because as of now, I can't see them with the organization long term. 

Rodriguez has a big arm.  There are plenty of pieces of dead wood on our roster that I would've gotten rid of before him. 

I really don't know.  What I do know is this.  The Giants are being run by people who were once employed in the Dodgers organization.  
Hasselman came to us from the Dodgers organization.  
The only sustained success that this organization has ever had was when it was being run by Mike Scioscia, who came from, you guessed it, the Dodgers organization.  
I don't think it would be so bad to invest a few dollars more into the farm system, scouting and player development, and try to copy the Dodgers business model.  
Maybe if we do that, the Angels can have sustainable, season after season, success.

Not my point.  My point is that there are players currently on the roster, like Rosenberg and Fletcher, that we could've used to clear roster space.

Still the loudest place I have ever been.  My ears were ringing for two days after that game. 

So, we sign him for 2024.  Problem solved. 

Gary DiSarcina was let go by the Nationals.  He might be a good interview for the manager's job.  
He has front office and coaching experience with several teams, including the Angels.

I was there. Such a great memory. Hope we get to experience it again.

So, we trade Trout, lose Ohtani.  No one renews or buys season tickets.  Who'd come to watch what is left?
From an ownership standpoint, revenue would go into the toilet.

Walsh will sign with TBR and hit 35 HR in 2024.

If they wanted to stay in house with an organizational guy, there is always Jack Howell, who was the manager at Tri Cities last season, IIRC.
