Watching the Red Sox Indians game and I am thinking of Doug. He was a SF Giants scout and our Area Code Giants team Manager, who discovered Dustin Pedroia from Woodland, California. Dustin has the 6 tool and Doug reminded me constantly.

If you have an opportunity sit with a pro scout for one hour. Learn thru his eyes and mind. take mental notes. "opportunity of a lifetime"!

Good stuff Bob...

Nice JBB.  I remember and never forget my last private conversation with him.  It was about my own players dilemma, like so many here have thought about or been in the same sitution, college vs the draft. His answer was so awesome, mainly because he was a dad first.

I still refer to his advice to this day on this site, when asked the same questions that I asked years ago.
