Add Omar Minaya’s name to the growing list of candidates who will interview for the Angels’ vacant general manager post.

 

Minaya, the former GM of the Montreal Expos, held the same post with the New York Mets from 2005 to 2010. The Dominican-born Minaya was baseball’s first Latino general manager, and Angels owner Arte Moreno was baseball’s first Latino owner.

 

 

 

Jesus. Just do yourselves a favor and hire Ng.

[Little Slide Rooter]

If they do sign him, hopefully he can revisit his original plan when he came with the Mets to acquire every latin player he can get his hands on and we can send them Soriano and Zambrano for Mike Trout.

I've heard rumblings that Scioscia has a lot of influence in that organization, to the point where the GM's power is muted a bit. Much like LaRussa in St. Louis. I wouldn't be surprised if that kept quality GM candidates at bay.

the vernon wells trade would certainly suggest that. napoli had good value, but scioscia was never a fan of him, and they gave him away for a player who probably had negative value due to his awful contract.

Whispers: Angels could pick first woman GM

Ng in serious contention along with Hahn and Evans.

 

 

I hope they aren't serious.

Do you feel that Ng isn't as qualified as Hahn or Evans? Or do you just feel it is a bad idea to make a woman a GM?

 

(hint - pick box A if you want to continue here!)

don't be a pain in the ass.

Holy [expletive] a board that promotes the hiring of Kim Ng (so long as it's not here) as a GM? I feel like this is some form of progress maybe.

[NonProfitCow]

She should have been hired as a GM a long time ago. Been an Assistant GM since 1997.

TO THE [expletive] YANKEES!!! As the youngest one, EVER, at the time.

 

The Dodgers were such pussies for not hiring her over Colletti...same for the Padres and Mariners really...but the Dodgers one really irked bc I already had the impression that they pussied out on DePodesta as GM because of douchebags like Plaschke in their media.

What? You had multiple people here suggesting her as a viable and appealing option before the whole Theo thing blew up.

Even better. If I was there for those threads/discussions I'd be one of those people.

Next thing you know they'll be driving, voting, and refusing to do my laundry. Do you really want that on your heads Angels?

[UMFan83]

I hear their periods attract bears.

Yeah, she wasn't the top choice for most of us, but she definitely fell into that group of perfectly acceptable options after Theo, Friedman, etc...

Didn't know that, but thanks for updating me on gay terms? Didn't know that that's what UMF meant by periods attract gay men? Who knew?!?!

 

Anyway, back on topic...
