JERRY DIPOTO RUMORS & GOSSIP
Can Mike Trout snatch the MVP?
On May 21st, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout became the youngest American League player to hit for the cycle since 1930 at 21 years old.
The second year phenom won AL rookie of the year in 2012 and he also finished second for the league’s MVP award, behind only Miguel Cabrera.
But will Trout be able to dethrone the reigning MVP for the title in 2013?
As of May 22nd...
Dipoto's rotation plan: flawed or bad luck?
In the wake of consecutive arson jobs by Joe Blanton and Barry Enright, the rotation that Jerry Dipoto has come under fire. Well, that's not true, it has been under fire since the first week of the season, but the level of WTF when it comes to the starting pitching is now palpable. How could a GM make over a rotation that struggled last season and somehow replace it with a new...
Jason Vargas, the one thing Jerry Dipoto got right
Slow clap, everyone. Slow clap. Congratulations, Jerry Dipoto, through the tens of millions of dollars that you spent and the series of trades you swung last off-season, you finally go something right.
Sean Burnett? When healthy, sure, but that healthy part is kind of important.
Tommy Hanson? Meh.
Ryan Madson? I'll let you know if/when he ever dons an Angel uniform...

Jerry Dipoto's rebuild/reload plan
Like any Angel fan, I've continued to monitor their free agency decisions and subsequent performances for the past two seasons since Jerry Dipoto was hired. I'm beginning to recognize a pattern that likely reflects the approach Dipoto has taken toward putting his own personal touch on the Angels system. To the untrained eye, it appears as though the Angels have a bloated...
Angels GM Jerry Dipoto Talks with the Fans at the 2013 AngelsWin.com Spring Training Fanfest
If you could make one move as the Angels GM, what would it be? Would you start planning a budget to sign Verlander or Kershaw? Would you make a big trade at the deadline? Would you micro-manage the lineup, like in the movie "Moneyball"? Would you start teaching all of your pitchers to throw the knuckle ball to try and produce the next R. A. Dickey?
As much as fans may...

Dipoto: Angels' season isn't a failure
Being labeled as an expensive failure is inevitable now. The Los Angeles Angels made the biggest single-day free agent splash in baseball history last winter and had the fourth-highest payroll in the majors this season -- but they did not make the playoffs. "Failure is a relative term," general manager Jerry Dipoto said. "We could win 90 ... games, I don't want...
Dipoto trying to solve Angels' relievers mystery
As the Angels bullpen bungled away six leads in the first 22 games of the season, Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto had good reason to look back on the winter and wonder what he could have done to forestall the relief issues that are likely to haunt them this season.
But the Angels GM says he has no regrets about his decision to make only modest changes in the bullpen, signing...

Angels' GM Jerry Dipoto corresponds with fans
ANAHEIM, CA-- Growing up in Dodger and Angel territory, I collected baseball cards, ticket stubs, photographs and programs; all the things baseball-crazed youngsters live for. I was a fanatic about the game.
But I was never one of the kids who wrote a letter to a player or a GM asking for an autograph or asking a question. Many of my friends did and never saw the card(s) again,...
