Over the years, the GM of the Angels has changed a number of times. What has not changed is one job description: take under performing players away from Mike Scioscia so he’s forced to play a better ones.
Whether it was Raul Ibanez stumbling around left field while hitting .157 out of the cleanup spot before getting DFA’d by Jerry Dipoto or Steve Finley getting the boot from Bill Stoneman, there is a long pattern of GMs being forced to take players away from Mike and preventing him from causing further harm.
Now, it is Billy Eppler’s turn to take the scissors away from the kid running down the hall.
