Harold's Leg Lift Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Oh boy would this be fun. The Angels are in desperate need of new leadership as Billy Eppler just hasn't gotten the job done. The Angels have some pretty good prospects for Dombrowski to trade (Adell, Marsh, Adams, Detmers) but the system falls off a cliff after them and they're still saddled with terrible contracts to Pujols and Upton. It's too bad Ohtani is having such a down year because if he can't pich anymore he could be a good trade candidate. This might be Dombo's toughest reclamation project yet and I can't wait to see how it unfolds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the most detailed and involved person I have ever met. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Wow the Angels have to be one of the biggest messes out there. They have a TON of long term money, so he can't spend his way out of this. It has to be drafting and development, but that isn't what he does well.

South Side Hit Men Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I remember him and Roland, did a great job with the Sox including their second best season (99 wins, 1 shy of 1917, tied with 2005) in club history. Bill Veeck always had an eye for great talent, sad they were purged. Not many win 4 pennants and 2 World Series leading their organization.

pcq Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Dave is involved with the Nashville Stars group trying to get a new team and build a ballpark. Not sure if he is available. Maybe. They seem to think expansion might be in the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I like Dave D - he's done a nice job winning championship / building championship organizations. He has his flaws - but what he's done in multiple places is pretty spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 He did always trade a lot of prospects but most of them really became busts. The only real good ones he traded were andrew miller in the miggy trade and moncada, kopech in the sale trade and both trades brought in a superstar in their prime who worked out really well. Still of course that approach is not super sustainable but he definitely did trade the right guys most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
