    ettin, if we're talking a utility role then that's a whole different deal.

    I wouldn't mind Field if the Angels didn't have other holes to fill... but all things considered, I'm not sold on him just yet.

    I was hoping we'd get to see Bryce Harper in Anaheim....

    They will both have plenty of time off soon enough.

    Maybe this is the deal that would have sent Howie to the Dodgers for Zach Lee? So... all of this is speculation, but if you are Dipoto and Arte is actually dictating the moves - would you resign and look for another opportunity or would you stick it out, thinking this is your one shot as a GM? It's an interesting dilemma because there have a been a few GM's who only got one shot.

    I'm pulling for Torii, first and the Pirates, second.

    I'd love to put certain individuals in the Angels organiation on a train heading out of town for good... That would make the ARTIC very convenient. Pack your bags and head over the ARTIC....

    There's no point in trading Trumbo until the Angels get a GM who knows what he's doing. I'm afraid to see what Dipoto would get in return for Trumbo at this piont.

    People will read into this what they want.

    All I know is that the Stoneman/Scioscia combination transformed the Angels organization. That combination set a tone and put together a specific plan for the kind of players they wanted and for how the game should be played. It's clear to me that both the GM and manager have to be on the same page and they have to share the same vision. Given that idea - I'll go with Scioscia's vision over Dipoto's. I liked the way the Angels forced the action with aggressive play. I'll take that over guys who likes to leave their bat on their shoulder any day. Right or wrong - it's more fun to watch and it worked for this organization for quite a while. The 2005 team and the 2008 and 2009 teams were good enough to win World Series' - but the play-offs didn't go their way. I can accept that with those teams. You never know what's going to happen in the post-season. I don't think Scioscia should call all the shots - but I do believe that the Angels need to hire a GM who fits what Scioscia wants to do. I like his style of play and the way his better teams played. Maybe Dipoto has a better plan. I don't think I'm in a position to judge and I doubt most, if not all of you are either. I do know what has worked before and I liked the fact that it was in contrast to the moneyball philosophy. I loved the fact that in the years when the team played well - the players outperformed their projections much to the head shaking of the sabermetrics community. Again - I'm not saying one plan is better than another - I just know what I like and I'm going to back Scioscia everytime.

    Dipoto, don't let the door hit you on the way out....

    I would have preferred Joe Saunders over Blanton... and Saunders has an ERA of 4.86 (3.94 at home/5.60 on the road). Not great, but definitely an upgrade over Blanton.

    Weaver isn't a 1... he's about a 1.2322347
