ANAHEIM -- The quest to find Mike Scioscia's successor is underway for the Angels.

One day after Scioscia announced that he was stepping down after a 19-year run as the club's field boss, general manager Billy Eppler met with reporters to discuss the upcoming managerial search and describe the attributes he plans to prioritize as he sifts through potential candidates.

"What we're looking for in that next manager is connectivity with the players," Eppler said Monday. "We're looking for somebody who can think with a probability-based mindset. We're going to look for someone who is eager to grow and evolve.
