Hopefully it carries over into next season

Just like last season!

 

[dakid23]

I hope we can resign Gutti.

I hope we can resign Gutti.

Man he's so valuable when healthy 

would be nice to see him for a full season

 

[elpablo21]

So many runs

 

[Sinner]

The guy finally getting a run of games and staying relatively healthy.  

 

[Sinner]

 Trout 

 

[Sinner]

Jerry Dipoto?

 

[elpablo21]

The guy who was exiled from Anaheim?

Reviews seemed mixed on him

Sounded like he was in a tough spot with the Owner and Scoscia basically running the show down there as well.

Hopefully this works out though

 

[Sinner]

Was just reading this... interesting...

[elpablo21]

Most seem to think Lloyd is gone if the hire comes to fruition 

 

[Sinner]

It's official...

 

[a55a5in11]

IDK about this...

 

[elpablo21]

A new era.

This feels refreshing...even without having the slightest clue how this will turn out.

At minimum he at least hates the Angels as much as we do, solid bond to start off on

 

[dakid23]

IDK about this...

+1

 

[a55a5in11]

Well atleast we know he loves spending $$
Lets go get Cespedes

 

[dakid23]

I think lloyd is gone.

I want him to keep Cano and Boomstick.

 

[elpablo21]

If Dipoto becomes Mariners GM, I wouldn't be surprised if Scott Servais (Angels AGM, in charge of scouting & PD) joins him in some capacity.

Servais has proven track record, well-regarded in the game, but I've heard there's not much for him here given prior tension w/ Scioscia.

Agreed, were to close to blow up, I mean **** we had a terrible year and were still finishing around .500

 

[bigz704]

I say keep Lloyd, give him a team that can compete and lets see what happens. Hopefully the new gm won't be afraid to spend money in free agency. We imo only need 1B, LF, and maybe Catcher. Zunino might have change position or get traded.

 

[a55a5in11]

We need a BP
Closer and OF should be priority
Put Trumbo at 1b

 

[elpablo21]

Only person that is safe is probably Edgar ( I dont think DiPoto is crazy enough to send him packing with Lloyd...I'd hope not)

I was ready for the team to blow up but I guess there's not point now, team isnt that far off. Shortstop is no longer a question at least. 

BP is a mess

 

[omega 8]

Well atleast we know he loves spending $$
Lets go get Cespedes

 

[omega 8]

By all accounts, DiPoto is a really good GM, should be a net positive. Like was said above, he'll have a burning hatred for LAA that won't go away for quite a while. Add to that the fact that he's intimately familiar with the AL West and it's a win all around. 

I'm sure Lloyd is gone, if I was JD I would want to hire my own dude. 

As for talent? We need a bunch of guys BUT were not THAT far away. 

Absolutely NO way should they sign Cespedes. The dude is a circus in the OF. We've got enough "OFs" that can't OF. 

 

[Sinner]

O'Malley!

Is Sims signed for 2016?  Enough is enough. 

 

[a55a5in11]

am I the only one that likes Sims?
