  2. I have always said, a good manager gets the best out of his players. That didn't happen. I didn't know who Johnny Washington was coming into the season, but was very excited about Ron Washington. Neither Washington was able to show any signs of improvement with the team. Personally I would do some firing.

  3. No he done absolutely terrible. Look at the stats. Team batting average .229, the offense averaged 8.74 strike outs per game. The Angels had to be among the worst situational hitting teams in the majors. You can pick a single player he might have helped. I look at the entire team statistics. Baseball is a team sport.

  6. Lets not forget Rengifo, he had a very good year. Based on his video post he worked hard on the off season. Hopefully rest of our Team has some work ethic.
