Except that Crawford figures to rebound…

All I know is that if Reagins isn’t Director of Nacho Development, I totally want that job. Call me, Arte!

Wonder where Arte is planning to put him (TR staying in the org)? Director of nacho development? Pest management?

I don’t know if Reagins legacy will be the Wells trade or the Napoli trade, but put both together and he had to go. Of course, some (most?) of the culpability for Napoli leaving belongs to Scioscia, but with offense becoming more rare, losing an elite power source like Napoli was poor thinking, at best.

The Twins will not fire Bill Smith as GM. However, if Reagins is interested in the job, the Twins should hire Reagins to run player/personnel, or be a talent evaluator, or whatever other title they can come up with. Smith, who has a terrible record as a GM, has admitted he’s more of an administrator. Rob Antony, Smith’s #2, is more of a contract-negotiation guy. The team doesn’t have a talet evaluator. Vernon Wells aside, Reagins would fit in pretty well.

Probably better than owing Carl Crawford $128m or Jayson Werth $112m the next 6 years.

This mornings LA Times quotes him “The Angels will be “creative and aggressive” this off season”. Looks like Mr Moreno is the one who was aggressive!

See, I think Vernon Wells trade worked out because they had a better record than TOR. Flame away!

For reference, the Angels changed their re-up date for season ticket holders from January to October 15. They were facing a bloodbath if they didn’t make it very plain the front office had some accountability.
