  1. Angels closer RHP Francisco Rodriguez is being overworked in the Venezuelan winter league, according to a major league scout who has seen him pitch. Angels G.M. Bill Stoneman, who had no knowledge of Rodriguez’s workload until informed of the scout’s comments, said, “You hope that individuals are their own managers. It’s a concern, a real concern.”

    This is not just an FRod problem, it’s a problem for ANY player that stoneman assumes will manage themselves…not impugning the players here, impugning Stoneman for his “hey it’s offseason, my responsibility is over” attitude. He isn’t paying attention to his closer? The one he dropped Percival for? his workload isn’t a matter of concern or scrutiny?

    Stoneman should be fired now if this is the case and not just the press being the press. If it is true, he’s pissing away millions of dollars, MILLIONS and it explains Salmon’s problems and probably Colon’s as well. Dumb GM not paying attention to the investment.
