Mike Scioscia, in Two Acts

If reports are correct, Mike Scioscia will leave the Angels with over 1600 wins, 18th most on the all-time managerial list. His .537 winning percentage would place him 21st among the top 50 winningest managers. He owns two Manager of the Year awards, six division titles and, of course, the 2002 World Series championship.

He will also leave with just one playoff appearance in his last nine seasons at the helm of the Angels. This season, he saw his squad in first place in mid-May, then go a dismal 30-41 as his bullpen imploded, injuries culled his rotation, and the offense was once again merely mediocre despite being led by the greatest player of his generation.
