I heard Alex Anthopoulos interviewed today. He said by the time his time ended in Toronto he was finally figuring things out and when he went to the Dodgers it was like going to graduate school and a great place to keep learning.
Jim Bowden said it took him about 9-10 years to know what he was doing. Yes, I know he’s an idiot… but… it begs the question - how long is Minasian’s learning curve going to be? Is he capable of taking the Angels to where they need to be?
The Angels/Arte continues to hire first-time GM’s and perhaps that’s not a good thing.
Stan Karaden was also interviewed and he talked a lot about how everyone from the ownership to the front office to the coaches and players have to be on the same page. They use as much data as possible to find any possible edge, every game. Sounds obvious, right?
Well, the Angels haven’t had that in some time.
It makes me wonder if they’ll ever get there?
