The club has not confirmed the hiring, which was first reported by Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports, but MLB rules prohibit teams from making major announcements during the World Series. Tim Mead, the Angels' P.R. director, said that the club will hold a news conference "regarding the GM position" at noon PT on Saturday. A former Major League reliever, Dipoto is currently Arizona's senior vice president of scouting and player development. After an eight-year playing career with the Indians, Mets and Rockies that ended in 2000, he joined Colorado's front office. He then moved to Boston and was part of that team's front office during its magical run to the 2004 World Series title, after which he returned to the Rockies for a year before joining Arizona's front office. The Angels interviewed a range of candidates before apparently deciding that Dipoto -- who was also interviewed by the Orioles for their GM opening -- was the right person to replace Tony Reagins, who resigned two days after the season following four seasons on the job. Among the candidates considered by the Angels were Kim Ng of Major League Baseball, Thad Levine of the Rangers, Damon Oppenheimer and Billy Eppler of the Yankees, former GMs Dan Evans and Omar Minaya, and Rick Hahn of the White Sox. Dipoto, 43, was the D-backs' point man when that team and the Angels pulled off the Dan Haren swap last season. Arizona acquired Joe Saunders and three pitching prospects, including southpaw Tyler Skaggs, who is now rated the top pitching prospect in the D-backs system and one of the best in the Majors. The hiring of Dipoto puts a GM in place for the Angels before the filing period for free-agent-eligible players begins next week following the three-day window that allows clubs exclusive negotiating rights. The Angels haven't gone out of the organization for a significant front-office hiring since 2003, when Eddie Bane became director of scouting. A native of Jersey City, N.J., who attended Toms River (N.J.) High School, Dipoto was drafted by the Indians in the third round of the 1989 First-Year Player Draft out of Virginia Commonwealth University. He made his Major League debut in 1993, with Cleveland, where he spent two seasons before being dealt to the Mets. After two seasons in New York, he was dealt to Colorado for Armando Reynoso, and he spent his final four years in the Rockies' bullpen. He went 27-24 with a 4.05 ERA in 390 career appearances, all in relief. After Boston's historic breakthrough in 2004, Dipoto rejoined Colorado as director of player personnel in 2005 and moved to Arizona a year later as vice president of player personnel. He took over as interim GM when Josh Byrnes was dismissed. In addition to making the Haren deal, he sent Edwin Jackson to the White Sox for Daniel Hudson, creating payroll relief and adding youth in both deals. Dipoto interviewed for the Arizona GM job last fall, but the position went to Kevin Towers. With Dipoto remaining as senior vice president of scouting and player development, the D-backs were one of the surprise teams of 2011, claiming the National League West title. Dipoto will have a handful of positions to fill in the Angels' front office, including assistant GM and director of player development. His familiarity with both leagues should be a benefit in terms of evaluating talent, building relationships and making deals. --
