"The Los Angeles Angels began to erode the day Tony Reagins took over as general manager and began undermining the scouting department. The team that seemed in line to dominate for a decade has decayed, and it hasn’t helped that major financial additions, such as Vernon Wells, were made without input from pro scouts." This is NOT my usual cup of tea, but I'm surprised to see this in print from a national writer. Then again, being at the top of the heap always makes that person a target.
