[分享] Baseball Prospectus-Eyewitness Account
Eyewitness Accounts
http://t.co/WJwl5yUjIo
When I stepped away from the second chair and into Kevin Goldstein’s vacated
spot on the stage, I decided that the spine of my prospect architecture would
be eyewitness scouting evaluations. The goal was not to portray myself or
other members of the prospect team as industry-level scouts; being a fabulist
wouldn’t benefit the product or the public paying for that product. The goal
was to offer evaluations from a more personal point of view, reports that
originated at the fields instead of on the phones or the search engines. I
put together a team of talent evaluators I felt had the chops to sit in the
stands and document the action on the field in an authentic manner. I wanted
to hire the type of talent that would one day receive the bait from the
private sector, joining up with the industry that I learn from on a daily
basis. That team is in place.
Going forward, Baseball Prospectus will publish a weekly series featuring
eyewitness evaluations from the staff, complete with scouting grades,
detailed notes and (in many cases) video. These reports will attach to the
player cards and offer a wealth of information throughout the season; with
multiple looks from multiple sources, you will be able to track a prospect’s
progression through the developmental process. As the games continue and we
populate the minor-league stadiums around the country, the reports will start
to pile up, and hopefully the season will conclude with a healthy reservoir
of reports for you to pick through, compare, contrast, dissect and disagree
with. I can’t think of a better means to study the minor-league process than
with a collection of scouting reports from quality eyes, provided over the
course of a season, and if everything continues as planned, for the duration
of the players’ prospect journeys.
This has been under my cap since last October, and thanks to a brilliant
support staff and a collection of talented team members, we are finally ready
to light the fuse on this series and take our prospect coverage to the next
level. My electronic door is always open for questions or comments, and I
hope you enjoy this new approach as much as I have enjoyed the process of
putting it together. —Jason Parks
