Join us for a live chat with the Angels Director of Scouting, Eddie Bane. Mr. Bane will be here TODAY at noon (Pacific Time) to answer your questions about last week's First Year Players draft and what's going on in the Angels organization. Join the chat then and ask Mr. Bane a question.
Eddie was the Number One pick in MLB's 1973 draft. He has held several positions since retiring as a player, including special assistant to the GM for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (1999-2003). He has been the Angels scouting director since 2004.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Eddie Bane refers to an Angel prospect being unfortunate to get "Tommy John" surgery in this chat. Eddie asked us to clarify that the prospect to whom he is referring to is pitcher Mason Tobin.
NOTICE: There were many technical difficulties in the questions showing up during this chat, however, Eddie's comments here about Angels drafting and minor league operations are still lucid and of interest to you hardcore fans, but it is easier to read this transcript as some comments by Eddie Bane rather than an ordinary Q and A chat.

HaloDutch - June 16, 2009

Figgi4life - June 16, 2009

GOOGLE DISAGREES
TYPE IN L.A. ANGELS AND THE REV IS GETTING MUCH HIGHER RANKING. THEY JUST GET MORE SELFPUBLICITY BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL THE 6XL TSHIRT CROWD.

You STILL haven’t figured out what that key just to the left of ‘A’ is?

His sig is in lower case...
and is hilarious
Higz - June 16, 2009
Especially considering that Ferrari is spelled incorrectly.
Downing Rules - June 17, 2009
If that is the case, it would still be easier to read if this commenter used only lower case letters
which would still only require one hand to type.
44FAN - June 16, 2009
hahaha...
even his screen name is in capital letters…what a FRIGGIN TOOL AHAHAHAHH!!!!

Do you mean
the official one?
The posters and mods there are the reason I’m here.

I'm still trying to figure out what a 6xl tshirt crowd is.
clover_black - June 16, 2009
FAT
hauldog - June 16, 2009
Fat People = More Self Publicity?
I’m confused.
Although, it wouldn’t hurt to advertise on fat people. Larger visibility. But they seem to be a sedentary type of people.
clover_black - June 16, 2009
Shirt the size of a billboard
It is pretty straight forward.
hauldog - June 16, 2009
It was a poor stab at the guy who was making a single batch of large-sized custom Nick Adenhart shirts in the aftermath of the accident.
Downing Rules - June 16, 2009
Dodger fans .... who else?
PieceOfAase - June 19, 2009
What is a 6XL TShirt crowd?
2. The answer is 2.

Yay
Figgi4life - June 19, 2009
Well that was fun
Figgi4life - June 19, 2009
There was some confusion on how the chat software worked
Oh well.
WiHaloFan - June 19, 2009
I was confused most of the time
which meant this chat was right in my wheel house. Even if I didn’t know the question, the information was illuminating and he’s seems like a real nice guy.
Moondoggy - June 19, 2009
I'm a dick
But that was unreadable.
Sethy - June 19, 2009
You're not a dick
But you’re right about it being unreadable.
WiHaloFan - June 19, 2009
My wife begs to differ
Sethy - June 20, 2009
What do they know.
WiHaloFan - June 22, 2009
I read this after the fact, if you just read Bane's comments, it generally makes sense and you get a lot of good information
I’m liking these chats
tanana40 - June 19, 2009

Sethy - June 20, 2009
