L.A. CONFIDENTIAL.Byline: -- Doug Padilla Douglas ("Doug") Padilla (born October 4, 1956 in Oakland, California) is a former middle and long distance runner from the United States, who won the overall Grand Prix 1985 and the World Cup 5000m race in 1985. The grumbling has gone on for some time now. Angels manager Mike Scioscia Scioscia likes the grinder Grinder A slang term for a person who works in the investment industry and makes small amounts of money at a time on small investments, over and over again. Notes: style Erstad brings and often mentions ``intangibles'' when asked about him. But it's obvious Erstad no longer is the kind of player who can put up 240 hits in a season like he did in 2000. He's not even close to being that guy. With Erstad returning from foot and ankle injuries he will be used sparingly at first. After he is healthy, Scioscia promises to go with the hot hand. Does Scioscia show too much loyalty to Erstad or has Erstad earned that amount of respect from his manager? |
