Did Napoli trade lead to Angels dumping GM?

I don't know if was as much Napoli as it ws Wells.

Wells. Yeesh.

As a Jays fan, i coulda told him how badly that trade would fail for him. Not that i was complaining

The worst trade in a long time

You don't Trade a promising player for a Washed up 81 mil used to be this guy. Should have been gone long ago right around the Texira trade and how much the Angels gave up on a rental player.

Scoscia didn't like Napoli.

So... why is this the GM's fault?

Toronto named Napoli exec of the year.

Napoli wasn't a fit for the team since Scioscia didnt like to play him. But trading for Vernon and eating almost his entire contract is inexcusable.

Just letting John Lackey walk, should have guaranteed him a job for life.

Speaking of John Lackey and Vernon Wells, maybe a trade sending Wells to Boston, and Lackey back to Anahiem might be beneficial to both teams.

Completely on the Wells end of the deal. No one could have predicted that Napoli would have had the year he did. If that was possible the Jays wouldn't have traded him either.

Jays still should have kept him. He'd be a good DH and backup catcher at the very worst (assuming they are gung-ho on keeping Arencebia behind the plate)

Napoli can stay here as long as he wants.

He's damn sure earned it!

No complete game for Shields tonight...

The Angels sat on their thumbs and did not pick up a set up man and it killed them in the long run. Adams was begging to go there, because it is close to his home in San Diego, and they did not pull the trigger and Texas got him. The Angels lost 6 games in their last 25 while leading or tied after 7 innings.. That is a killer- The GM should be fired for not picking up Adams and letting him go to Texas which sealed the Angels fate.. Now I hear they are going to pursue Fielder? That would be a huge mistake.. the guy is going to command a huge salary, he is too fat, his body is going to fail him, and he will just be a useless Mo Vaughn like player making $25 million a year..

reagins should had gone long time ago, he proved that as a GM was useless regardless of the little right things that he did with the angels, lets not forget that he brought fuentes, bad deal, pineiro bad deal, kazmir trade was a killer for the halos, napoli /rivera trade was as bad as any other trade, trading for wells it did send the angels all the way back to the bottom, all in all reagins the worse GM in history for the halos!!

lets hope that the new angels GM be more accurate in his vission as a GM in halos franchise, hope the new GM has more creativity in his knowledge in the baseball business, as we all know been a GM its not easy job to handle!!

mike sciocia likes to get good deffense catcher behind the plate, if napoli was traded to another team the manager could do nothing about it!!

its well known that the halos lack in different spots in their lineup!

from third baseman to first baseman, to the closer, the halos were short two starters in their rotation, their DH spot was never productive enough to help their offense, their outfield was the weakest offense in the whole season!!!
