 Jason Varitek?

I know he'd be an upgrade over Zunino but as a skipper? ****
 
Dipoto and Servais are pretty close. Caught some of Mitch in the Morning show today and he spoke on their relationship and how Dipoto always saw him as a managerial candidate dating way back, noted his player/interpersonal skills. There was also one time he spoke on where Dipoto/Servais were on the Angels staff and how Mike Sosha (You try spelling his name) felt threatened that Servais was basically coming for his spot. Servais would dress in full uniform and participate in some drills with some of the Angels, Sosha didn't like his forward thinking and the two had a little beef about it.

It was so many little things that Dipoto/Sosha didn't see eye to eye on, it was bound to come to a crash. Cant imagine Sosha has too many chances left in Anaheim.

I like the sound of this.

Coaching assignments:

• Tim Bogar – Bench
• Edgar Martinez – Hitting
• Mel Stottlemyre Jr. – Pitching
• Chris Woodward – First Base
 
Interesting read on Boog.

Positive notes on Karns as well.

Sergio will always be one of the guys I'll helplessly think gets it right
 
Possible but not probable, in my opinion. One of the first things Dipoto said is this team needs to improve their pitching depth and athleticism before anything, so I'd like to think he's about upgrades in the outfield. The defense there was so bad and it only seemed to get worse towards the end of the year. Cruz, Trumbo, etc.

 The move made yesterday helps as it moves Trumbo to 1st, for now at least.

I think Kuma is going to get a new deal here real soon, and I think more upgrades are coming to the OF. The market is going to dictate whether the M's end up with the top end guys like Heyward/Upton or more economical deals with the Denard Spans and Dexter Fowlers of the world. I don't think they're going into the season with Zunino penciled in as the starter btw. They'll get him some competition for the spring.

Dipoto off to a fast start.
