December 1, 201411 yr We've published a guest post, written by Sox scouting supervisor Kevin Burrell, on the life of a scout. Give it a read, as this is a unique 1st hand view into some of the realities of that career.
December 1, 201411 yr Nice quick little read. Thanks and great work drumming up unique content, as always... guys.
December 1, 201411 yr The time they spend traveling in their car is crazy. That is the not so fun wish I choose another career part.
December 2, 201411 yr QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 05:07 PM) The time they spend traveling in their car is crazy. That is the not so fun wish I choose another career part. People think of being a scout and all they think about is "hey, baseball all day, every day, what a life." It's so, so, so much more than that and this kind of outlines it.
December 2, 201411 yr Cool read. A buddy of mine is a scout for a NHL team, I always hear about how many weekends he spends in some unglamorous towns. And that's for hockey where games are usually on the weekends, I can only imagine baseball where it's almost every day for 5-6 months.
