Stoneman Steps Down
Bill Stoneman decided to move out of the Angels front office:
Stoneman, 62, is planning to move to a consultant's position with the club. His four-year contract expired with the 2007 season but includes a mutual option allowing him to stay beyond '07 as either a GM or a consultant.
Angels spokesman Tim Mead would neither confirm nor deny the expected impending front-office changes.
Stoneman's replacement as GM was not immediately clear, but it is believed that the Angels are looking at Tony Reagins, currently their director of player development, to succeed Stoneman.
Bill did a very good job with the Angels, putting together the team that won the 2002 World Series. They've had continued success, making the playoffs in 2004, 2005 and 2007. He worked well with Scioscia, giving him players who put the ball in play and play defense well. At 62, he probably wants to start collecting social security. :-)
