- Stoneman Resigns
- Reagins Introduced as new GM
- Paul Byrd accused of HGH use while with Angels
The first big move of the offseason was made Tuesday as the Angels general manager, Bill Stoneman, resigned. Stoneman cited lack of energy as a primary reason for resigning. He is going to stay with the organization as a consultant to Arte Moreno.
Stoneman spent eight years as the Angels general manager including the team's only World Series title in 2002. He was responsible for bringing big free agents like Vladimir Guerrero and Bartolo Colon to the team as well as keeping homegrown talent (John Lackey, Francisco Rodriguez, Scot Shields, Howie Kendrick, Casey Kotchman) around.
Reagins Introduced As New General Manager
Tony Reagins was introduced as the man to replace Bill Stoneman as general manager of the Angels. Reagins was currently the Director of Player Development for the past six seasons for the Angels.
A former media intern, Reagins worked his way up the ladder in the Angels organization.
What remains to be seen is who has the power? Reagins, Scioscia or Morneo?
Ex-Angel Paul Byrd Accused Of HGH use
Indians pitcher Paul Byrd was accused of ordering human growth hormone from 2002-2005. Byrd did not deny taking the drug. Rather, he said that major league baseball knew of his prescription and permitted him to take it. He pitched for the Angels in 2005.
