This doesn’t include players with options which may be turned down, so as that occurs the list will swell

Alright, so this is lame, but baseball is over for the foreseeable future, and I can't think of any reason not to post this. We're just bullshitting here, right?

I Found this kid on YouTube called THE GOAT MAN. One of his videos is about how Koufax is one of the most overrated pitchers of all time.

For sure, Koufax's story is basically a tale of two careers. He pitched six seasons before he figured things out. He also pitched off the 20" mound at Dodger Stadium, and in a pitcher-friendly era. But this kid talks about how his career strikeout totals are bolstered by the first half, "bonus seasons" when he wasn't really making an impact, but instead "kind of just racking up stats."

My monocle popped off my eye and I had to go lie down for a spell. This is absolute heresy to me. But I post it here to see how many heathens agree with this boy:

Six years is a long time for a pitcher to be dominant.

That kid has a shrewd eye for getting attention but his argument is dumb. Plus if counting stat milestones were easy to rack up in garbage time more people would attain them.

I don't know GMs, I don't know who's good and/or available. What's the best the Angels could do here?

If they want candidates with GM experience, Dombrowski or Huntington would fit the bill. Personally I’d love to see what Huntington could do with the Angels’ resources though I would be surprised if they hired him.

There’s also Luhnow of course.

My guess is it’ll be somebody currently in a low profile role in player development or an assistant GM.
