Maybe a guy like Law, since he actually worked in a FO, might know something. But teams hire an army of scouts who have done nothing in their lives except scout 200-300 players a year for 20-30 years, and maybe played the game for ten years. And a writer, fresh out of writer’s school, probably never having seen Finley, Harnisch, Schilling and Bagwell, are passing on their judgement of the trade.

In that respect, some things don’t change.
