Mike Scioscia wouldn't stop using Frieri during high leverage situations, so the general manager, Jerry DiPoto traded him.

The exact same scenario happened last week, when the Angels released Raul Ibanez.

Basically, Mike Scioscia is the worst manager in baseball, and the only way to get him to quit using awful players in the wrong situations is to trade or release them.
