So you're saying we're in good shape?!?!

Special assistant to the GM of the Boston Red Sox since 2012. Good article a while back.. http://www.masslive.com/redsox/index.ssf/2013/06/eddie_banes_presence_felt_as_r_1.html

This! I've heard some of the same things about him from the baseball people I know.

I really don't give two shits about Harper. But any prolonged slump that is reported makes me smile. You posted this, not I. Here's to a continued slump... cheers

F Harper. I hope his demise continues. Oh and I'm not butthurt. Why would I be? I'm an Angels fan and our guy is better ball player and way better class citizen.

Uh.... That was the plan, Tony hated Eddie. That said, the feeling was mutual.

Going to taste them tomorrow. I'll give you a review for each.

More on Tyler Bates: http://herosports.com/collegefootball/tyler-bates-etbus-secret-weapon http://www.cleburnetimesreview.com/sports/alvarado-s-tyler-bates-drafted-by-la-angels-after-stellar/article_ac207e5e-319c-11e6-9e62-5f9c490a0b4a.html Bates, who boasted a .407 batting average this season, finished his career as the all-time hits leader at ETBU with 206. He also led the ASC in runs scored (58) and total bases (133) this year and was second in the conference in hits (72), home runs (14) and RBIs (55). Bates also set numerous receiving records for ETBU football. “All glory to the great man above,” Bates said. “I was drafted in the 38th round and my mom passed away when I was a toddler when she was 38 years old — you can’t tell me God isn’t good.”

I've answered this many times. Bane was ordered to select toolsy HS players by Tony Reagins.

With no disrespect to Ric Wilson who has provided us with insights into the draft and prospects since Eddie has left, I miss Bane's candid responses. He was such a great interview and provided a TON of details for our fanbase. I saved all of our chat transcripts that we had with Bane over the years if you ever want to dig in. There's a ton of content. The full Eddie Bane archives

Same here! He's also playing for his mom who passed away.

Hey @Adam we drafted a toolsy black guy! Honesty, I'm super stoked. Here's hoping we found the gem of the entire draft.

We could flip flop Marte and Myers at the position.

Straight up for Wil Myers?

Also.... FanRag Sports? WTF?!?!

Would you? Myers is well on his way to a breakout season at age 25 and he is under contractual control with San Diego through 2019, but Heyman says the Padres are "willing to talk about just about anyone" as they attempt another aggressive organizational rebuild under general manager A.J. Preller. Myers, an outfielder turned first baseman, is sitting on a .281/.321/.504 batting line, 14 home runs, and 39 RBI through 65 games this season with the last-place Friars.

I'll get the transcript up later today. Busy afternoon yesterday and so far this morning sucks balls.

BTW... I hope Nava doesn't cut into Marte's playing time. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing him DFA'd.

This inning pleases me!

I do not want to see another LF than Jefry Marte and I'd love for Scioscia to start Bandy more than Perez going forward.

I think we've finally found our left fielder after years of shitty production from that spot. Those two !! were for you @ScottT

Sounds about right... Ric Wilson's lips were sealed on today's chat...

Shit, it's over $220 up here at our BevMo. Anyhow, I cannot wait to try these Question though. I keep hearing that I should save these for a special occasion rrom friends and family (except for the friends that want to try it), your take? Maybe I'll take care of the Singleton but save the other two?

Ditto

Yeah.... Garza has been a disaster.
