Billy Eppler, like Sergeant Schultz from Hogan’s Heroes, “knows nothing.”
Eppler’s silence, we’ve learned since 2015, speaks volumes.
Asked earlier this month if the Angels had interest in Japanese lefty Yusei Kikuchi, the GM simply said “No comment” from behind his sunglasses. But he couldn’t hide his cat-ate-the-canary grin.
“Yusei? You Say ... Who?”
But everyone knows that the Angel GM has a big-time need for a front-line starting pitcher, or two. He’s also big-time clued-up.
Eppler had a similar response last year, when he said he wasn’t interested in a guy named Shohei Ohtani.
