The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were one of many teams
entering the final month of the regular season and were the latest team to
finally get their man, that man was Brian Cashman’s assistant general manager
Billy Eppler. Eppler, 40-year old, will take over the Angels personnel
decisions after Jerry Dipoto resigned earlier this season due to conflicts with
management and team manager Mike Scioscia.
Eppler was a finalists for the Angels GM job back in 2011
before Angels owner Arte Moreno hired Dipoto and will finally get the
opportunity to run his own team in Los Angeles. Eppler spent 11 seasons inside
the Yankees organization spending time as a scout, the assistant director of
baseball operations and the assistant GM where he has spent his last four
seasons. Eppler is a San Diego native who was long thought to prefer a job on
the West Coast near his home town and he finally has it in Los Angeles.
