If you want to know the standard the Angels hold themselves to these days,
witness the changes that took place after they completed an 86-76 season.
Los Angeles reeled off its seventh winning season in the last eight, but
missed the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time since 2000-01,
Mike Scioscia's first two years as manager. What's more, the Rangers repeated
as the American League West champion and AL pennant winner, with a former
Angel as a driving force.
The Angels' January 2011 trade of Mike Napoli not only skewed the balance of
power in the AL West, but it also led to a front-office overhaul.
General manager Tony Reagins dealt Napoli and Juan Rivera to the Blue Jays
for Vernon Wells—and the full $86 million left on his bloated contract.
Toronto then flipped Napoli to Texas, where he led all big league catchers in
hitting (.320), on-base percentage (.414), slugging (.631) and homers (30).
To top it off, he batted .328 with three homers in the playoffs.
Wells had a terrible season, hitting 25 homers but posting a .248 on-base
percentage. Jeff Mathis hit .174 after picking up the bulk of the catching
duties in Napoli's absence, and Los Angeles plummeted to 10th in the AL in
runs scored.
The changes came swiftly. Two days after the season ended, owner Arte Moreno
forced Reagins to resign. He later fired farm director Abe Flores and
assistant GMs Ken Forsch and Gary Sutherland.
The Angels hired Diamondbacks senior vice president of scouting and player
development Jerry Dipoto to replace Reagins in late October. Dipoto retained
Ric Wilson as amateur scouting director and hired Red Sox scout Hal Morris as
pro scouting director. He also hired Rangers farm director Scott Servais as
assistant GM.
Emboldened by a new $3 billion, 20-year local television deal with Fox, the
new front office dramatically improved the roster. Dipoto signed the most
coveted position player and pitcher on the free agent market, landing Albert
Pujols with a 10-year, $254 million contract and then signing C.J. Wilson
away from the Rangers for five years and $77.5 million.
Dipoto also upgraded the Angels at catcher, dealing righthander Tyler
Chatwood (the system's No. 2 prospect a year ago) to the Rockies for Chris
Iannetta, then dealing Mathis to the Blue Jays for Brad Mills.
Chatwood was one of six Angels rookies in 2011. Jordan Walden rode a 98 mph
fastball to 32 saves and a place on the AL all-star team, while Mark Trumbo
belted 29 homers and finished runner-up for AL rookie of the year honors.
Unless he learns a new position, however, Trumbo becomes redundant with the
acquisition of Pujols.
Last season, the trio of Mathis, Trumbo and Wells extinguished many a rally
by combining for a .262 on-base percentage. In 2012, Los Angeles could
replace that trio in the lineup with Iannetta, Pujols and elite prospect Mike
Trout. Those upgrades, combined with a stout rotation featuring Jered Weaver,
Dan Haren, Wilson and Ervin Santana, give the Angels hope of snapping their
two-year playoff drought.
