Source: Bill Stoneman will become the #Angels' interim GM, with Matt Klentak basically serving as his No. 2. No Bud Black.

I thought for sure this would be a joke thread...

WTF?

[gotbeer]

Could have been worse.  Could have been Reagins.  

 

And anyways, who really thinks the Angels have any shot at signing any high end GM anyways?

F'n Stoneman

Wildest day I can remember as an Angels fan.

 

Even surpassing the day Jerry signed Pujols, Wilson, and Hawkins back to back to back.

Stoneman was a solid GM. Don't understand the negativity (other than it being kind of lolz worthy).

[Jobu]

It is amazing.

[nate]

Awesome!  Stoneman did so much good for this club.  Hope he sticks around.

[Guest]

I knew we'd see a familiar face again. Good choice, but hopefully Stoneman doesn't rely on his gut too much.

 

I wonder how much Stoneman will actually do and if Scioscia will actually be the one running things.

I knew I should have added a cute little doodle to the resume I faxed in.  Oh well.

[Stradling]

Stone man will be in charge not Mike

I don't hate it, I was just surprised by it is all. At least we know he won't be trading any of the team good prospects.

[totdprods]

Maybe Stoneman will bring GM gravitas to the role in negotiations and oversight, and rely on Klentak as a source of organizational knowledge. Stoneman may actually be the perfect bridge between Dipoto-lite Klentak and heavy-handed Scioscia. Actually sort of optimistic. Maybe something good comes of this.

[Angel Oracle]

Only main issue with him was hoarding prospects, which of course is far from the worst thing that can happen.

 

Much better than a Scioscia yes man!

[Chuck]

Stoneman was good, he was Scioscia first, owner second, his thoughts third. 

 

He'll work out well here.

 

I'm done with this shit. 

[DoubleOffTheWall]

I'm actually fairly happy with Stoneman, though would prefer Dipoto.

 

Stoneman knows pitching defense and speed.

With Moreno and Scioscia running the show, I'm not sure how much wiggle room Stoneman will have.

[Make Angels Great Again]

Don't expect a trade for a bat now!
