Nice article on O’s scout Kirk Fredriksson

[Frobby]

Steve Melewski did a nice interview with Kirk Fredriksson, the scout who signed Trey Mancini.   http://www.masnsports.com/steve-melewski/2017/12/a-scouts-tale-meet-kirk-fredriksson.html.   Among other things, it mentions that Fredrikkson knew Dan Duquette from his days in the New England Collegiate Baseball League.

I like Mekewski’s idea of writing a series of articles about scouts, and look forward to the other installments.

Yeah, I think these type of pieces are what he does best. When he’s talking about stats or comparing players it’s cringe-worthy.

I prefer it when he interviews people knowledgeable about minor league matters, rather than expressing his own opinions or getting into stuff about the major league club.
