Manager Phil Nevin wasn\'t the reason for the Los Angeles Angels\' massively disappointing season, general manager Perry Minasian says.
Nevin was simply the face of their latest failure, and that was enough to compel the Angels to part ways with their fourth manager in six years before they begin their next attempt to build a winner after nearly a decade of losing.
\"Tough decision to make, [but] something that we felt like needed to happen,\" Minasian said Tuesday. \"We didn\'t win enough games. In sports, when you have certain expectations and you don\'t meet those expectations, there are changes. By no means does that mean Phil is to blame. He\'s not. It\'s all of us, me first and foremost. I\'ve got to do a better job putting the club together.\"
