Late last night, while most of us were getting ready for bed, or were already asleep and dreaming of Mike Trout getting back-to-back MVP awards, the Angels were announcing a new front office hire as well as some other moves within the organization.
First up, the team let it be known that Steve Martone, formerly of the Yankees, had been hired as the team's new assistant GM. Martone had been with the Yankees since 2007, worked under new GM Billy Eppler(who was the assitant GM himself in New York), and was most recently their manager of professional scouting.
