Angel's announce new General Manager!
After a rebound year of 85-77... much better than the '99 70-92 record. Management still decided to move onto a new GM, this was announced late last night/early this morning, as they failed to win the AL West for the 14 straight season, thats right, they have not won it since 1986! Infact, they havnt played a playoff game since '86, when they went 92-70 and ended up losing in the ALCS to Boston in 7 games. But the new GM has told the media, "I expect the best." We continued to ask him what he meant, he told us: "I think it is more than possible to win the division, maybe even do more." The Angel's still appear to be a very young team, we expect this GM to be out there, attempting to make many moves. He told us his first mission, was to find a good starting pitcher, by "good" i got the impression he wanted a possible ace or 2 starter. We also have inside sorces saying he also wants another starter, maybe to be a number 3 or 4 guy. After this announcement i went straight to ownership, and asked why they hired some random guy who noone has heard of, they told me that they will do whatever the hell they want, i cannot quote that, because there were other words said, that cannot be added. But I get a different kind of mood with this GM, as he appearently will take on bad behavior players. He told me he would take anyone that can play ball. I asked "Would you take on a troubled 20 year old kid, who has had many troubles with the law?" He said, "Is he a good baseball player? That is my answer."
