Earlier Thursday morning Mike DiGiovanna broke the news that the Angels will be removing Ric Wilson from his role as director of scouting. According to the article, Billy Eppler will be discussing with Wilson the possibility of remaining in the organization in a different capacity, though neither one have yet to speak publicly about the move.
Wilson arrived in Anaheim in 2011 with the tough chore of replacing Eddie Bane, the man who drafted Mike Trout and was widely credited with building the Angels farm system with his high-risk, high-reward draft strategy.
