BASEBALL OPERATIONS Dan Fabian begins his 30th season with the White Sox, 23rd in the baseball department and fourth as senior director of baseball operations. Fabian oversees the daily operation of the team s professional scouting efforts, including scheduling, communications and the development of the White Sox Scouting Portal, which features both amateur and pro scouting reports, statistical information and video clips The portal is used extensively by General Manager Rick Hahn in analyzing potential major league roster moves, trades and waiver claims. He also oversees the club s video coaching efforts, processing of advance scouting reports and general statistical research for the baseball department.
This is from a media guide around 2015-16. Fabian hardly fits the image of a cutting edge, industry outsider. More of a JR loyalist who has adapted to changing times.
Jeremy Haber went to Stanford, by the way. Exactly who one would expect Hahn to take under his wing, another version of himself...who perhaps is closer to NBA head coach Quin Snyder (law and MBA degrees) in background.
As far as KW graduating, you can say the same thing about Tiger Woods, right?
