2019 Around the MLB

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
After being told he would not be back for next season, Maddon (or his agent) had the ability yesterday to check in with the LA Angels & see if they wanted a reunion.

I don't think Ausmus gets canned unless the Angels knew Maddon want to be back with the Angels...

100 percent.

Think this one is already done.

Also, welcome to the board. Enjoyed reading your takes thus far, and I think I remember your handle from maybe the Scout.com Buckeye or Indians board?

In any event, welcome.

Yes I spent much time on the ClevelandFan/ IPI/ IBI boards before moving over here..

Nice.

Used to post over there many moons ago. No longer subscribed after the OSU board went to hell.

Glad to have you over here.

Used to frequent IPI/IBI as well. Stopped a little after they went with Scout and Tony Lastoria seemingly vanishing. Seemed like the quality went down. Any idea what happened over there?

You call him Tony Lastoria, i knew him as TheConsigliere :chuckle: the IBI boards were hard to follow, imo; the quote nesting was terrible.

Ah yes, TheConsigliere moniker (with IIRC a Paul Brown pic as avatar).

Tony sold off his site, stepped away (stopped doing his Minor Happenings articles, radio show/ podcasts and prospect books) went back to "the real world".
His family is growing up and he is having much fun with them.

I greatly miss the work he did and calling into his blog talk show. Heck, I called into the show many times after I had moved to Wisconsin for work, His stuff was a lifeline to items back here.

I just meant the actual site. Definitely not the boards. I used to love his Minor Happenings articles. I learned a lot about our prospects and the minor leagues in general. I even liked the Around the Farm articles posted everyday. Then, like I said when he sold it to Scout, the quality went down the shitter. A lot of the new writers were awful as well.
 
No chance Callaway ends back here as the bullpen coach.

I mean I don't think anyone would be 100% against it in a way, but I doubt that as well. I am not sure who is taking over the bullpen and we should have a better one overall next season, but it will be a hard cut to figure which of the guys to keep and which of them to cut coming up here soon.
