Recommended Posts

Biographical Information[edit]

The son of GM Joe McIlvaine, Tim McIlvaine played briefly then became a scout. Tim was the #4 catcher for the 2004 GCL Twins, going 6 for 26 with 6 walks and four runs. He had no errors, four passed balls and allowed six steals in eight tries in 10 games behind the plate. The next year, he became an area scout for the Milwaukee Brewers. He signed Jonathan Armold, Hiram Burgos, Scooter Gennett, David Goforth and Jeremy Jeffress.

A couple of relevant, yet somewhat generic, quotes from the new Angels scout from a book about prospect hits and misses in the draft:

This ties in with Minasian's comment about finding prospects with the right mental attitude toward the sport. Basically sounds like the Angels will be looking for gifted, yet mentally mature prospects in future drafts, utilizing the right balance of analytics information and subjective visual critiques of their performance(s).

What the hell is a "player personnel director?"

sounds like the right hand to the director of player personnel.

The goal with this hire clearly seems to be drafting quality pitching. Milwaukee drafted some quality pitchers in later round picks when McIlvaine was their Ast. Scouting Director.

Specifically: Corbin Burnes (4th round), Brandon Woodruff (11th round), Drew Rasmussen (6th round), and Aaron Ashby (4th round).

So...No Chevy Clarke's?

I seriously hope that isn't the goal.
