Billy Eppler’s job is not an easy one. We can play around with the “If I were Billy Eppler” pieces all day long, but there is so much more than goes into the every day job of being a general manager. For instance - the Angels have 39 guys on their 40 man roster and 10 guys who are eligible for the Rule 5 Draft. Of course no team protects everyone - not even the Angels, especially when roster space is at a premium. Of those 10 guys, 5 of them land on the Angels top 30 prospect list and not adding them to the 40 man roster means risking another team drafting them.
