Good read - as always.

You skipped over the tenure of Tony Reagins - who notably signed Hunter (in a Del Taco), drafted Trout and was forced to trade for Wells (before resigning).

I skkpped over a lot of things, else it would have been 20,000 words. Reagins also fired Bane, the single most damaging thing that happened to the Angels.

Not making excuses - but Reagins was the middleman on that. Agreed that firing Bane set the franchise back - but we all know who was pulling the levels on that. And to his discredit, Tony R. kind of just di what he was told - until he couldn't take it anymore.
