I don't think scouting pays well enough.

No one could afford you and your considerable skills, CoC.

Not being snarky but is Brady Anderson also let go today?

It is apparent that Brady's role has been greatly reduced.  If the Angelos sons have some kind of loyalty to him I don't have a real problem with that.  Unlike before it is very CLEAR that Mike Elias is in charge of the baseball operations of this team.  The manager, general manager, and Brady Anderson seemed to have their own direct line to ownership and not on the same page.  I don't think that exists any longer.

I can throw darts at a board just as well as anyone else.  

I've also learned a lot about spin rate and launch angle and um...some other stuff too.

Sign me up!

And why is Jon Heyman getting this information ahead of our crack team of local beat reporters?   At least Roch knows how to use the retweet button.

Roch probably got word first but waited until Heyman put the info out.

The way I look at it, why give the employee the leeway to leak something when you can trade that right to a national guy?

Dean Albany:

Zach Clark (-0.1 WAR, 1 MLB game)

Oliver Drake (0.7 WAR, 168 MLB games)

Josh Hader (5.5 WAR, 135 MLB games)

L.J. Hoes (0.0 WAR, 112 MLB games)

Joe Mahoney (0.0 WAR, 11 MLB games)

Kenny Moreland - never made majors

Billy Rowell - never made majors

I mean...aside from Josh Hader....nothing much of note from Albany. Who else am I missing?

Cleaning house before the season ends.Must be a good reason why it could not wait till the season ends in a month.

What are they going to be scouting right now?

This is to be expected.   Any executive want his own people.  People that he think are capable of taking him where he wants to go with the organization.

Or his process doesn't require the same quantity of in person scouting.

Mr Analyst, tell me more.   I would have expected more scouts.  Do you know something different?

The Astros cut their scouting ranks significantly as they moved to a model-based system.
