AngelsWin Chat With Ric Wilson Tomorrow (7/3) at 10:00 AM PST!

[Scott34]

I'm going to be the moderator for our chat with Ric Wilson tomorrow, live in the Chat Room.  Ask any questions on your mind (try not to ask repeat questions from our chat from a few weeks ago)

 

Post away your questions here!

[Chuck]

Questions can be ranging from the current crop of prospects to all of the newly drafted players. 

 

Ric will be here in our Gameday Chat live, so if you can make it you don't need to post your questions.

 

Anything with regards to International signings are welcome as well.

[Spirit]

For those that don't know, Ric Wilson is the Angels Director of Amateur Scouting.

[ettin]

1) Beyond Hunter Green, which pitching prospect particularly excites you that the Angels acquired in this year's First Year Player Draft?

[Chuck]

Who was that pick of this amateur class that you fell slipped and the you and the Angels came away with a really good sleeper pick?

[Chuck]

BTW, I will not be present for this chat with Ric Wilson tomorrow. Scott will be the chat moderator and ask/field the questions to the Angels director of scouting. 

[Dave Saltzer]

I will be there and can help out if need be.

[Angel Oracle]

Which MLB pitcher would Hunter Green be seen as an eventual comp to?

[Second Base]

1. Does the organization intend to use Kyle McGowin as a starter or reliever?

 

2. What are your initial feelings on LHP Cole Swanson?

 

3. If you had to guess, which player just recently drafted do you believe will be the fastest to the majors?

 

4. Are there any prospects with the Dominican Summer League team that you're particularly excited about?

 

5. Was the drafting of so many pitchers a design to address organizational needs or was it simply a byproduct of taking the best player available?

[Scott34]

Good questions, Scott.

 

Keep em coming, folks!

[greginpsca]

Which drafted players do you see being placed on rosters above the Tempe and Provo teams? If any?

[Dave Saltzer]

Which players are likely to skip a level and make the jump to the IE66ers next year?

[Scott34]

Good questions! Any others?

[Scott34]

50 minutes!

[Chuck]

LIVE! in the Chatroom. 

[Chuck]

Dave or Scott... Make sure this goes last..

Hey Scott, David sent me a note that you did a helluva job in today's chat with Ric Wilson.

 

Kudos and thanks a bunch for the pinch hit home run. Maybe you'd like to do more of these in the future? We're going to have to get more Angels officials in our chat room for these types of features. 

[GregAlso]

Is there a transcript of the chat somewhere?

[Scott34]

Coming up, Greg!
