I like Dipoto. Loss for the Angels.

Eh, lighten up Francis.

Matt Klentak, who worked for Andy MacPhail in the O's front office, is the leading contender to take over as the Angels' GM. He has also been rumored to go join MacPhail in Philly, but reports today are that he will take over for DiPoto. He is 34.

Thanks... Guess the articles I was reading were old (as in a few hours, which these days counts as old).

Luddism in 2015 isn’t a quirk. It’s practically a sin, the open defiance of knowledge, which is the most powerful entity in baseball today. For Scioscia to create a culture in which his players live in fear of him – inside his clubhouse, he is considered the antithesis of a players’ manager, according to multiple sources – and his supposed boss wields no authority over him epitomizes the backwardness of an Angels organization in flux.

Scioscia living in a time warp.

Interesting. Allows Klentak to still leave it Andy wants him as GM. Figured Angels would name him GM to avoid that.

A couple questions, if Duquette leaves for Toronto after this season would the O's still be interested in Dipoto?

Would Dipoto be interested in coming here?

Oh no not at all would I want him. DD isn't going to Toronto.

I think Scioscia gets way too much credit.

Perhaps. My Dad's team for years now and though he likes Scioscia personally he often has lamented his lack of managerial prowess. Loves the small ball.

Statistically, Mike Scioscia is the best active manager in baseball. He's #2 in wins (behind Bruce Bochy), #1 in wins over .500 (+236, 22nd all time) and he has a World Series title from well before DiPoto took over. In the free-agency era, his teams average a 2nd place divisional finish (2.0) -- only Dick Howser, Charlie Manuel and Davey Johnson have better averages with over five years experience. His resume doesn't seem to jive with his reputation, of which he is rarely listed among the very top managers in baseball.
