The Angels continued to clean house in the wake of general manager Tony Reagins' departure, with longtime professional scout Rich Schlenker being informed that his contract wasn't being renewed. It has been a selective purge in the scouting ranks, with the Angels retaining pro scouts Brad Sloan and Jeff Schugel. Schlencker, 68, was informed of the team's decision three weeks before his contract expired. He worked for the Angels for 27 years, the last 15 as a pro scout. "It was disappointing in the beginning. They never even said, 'Thank you,' for all your years of service," Schlencker said. "I got over it, and I'm going to find a job if I can."
