BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2008-01-17 14:00:00 (link to chat)Thanks for all your awesome work! In his last chat KG said the following in response to a question I asked: "I do think you find fewer at Triple-A, because so many teams these days use that level and insurance policy storage as opposed to prospect development." It does seam that teams are bringing talented prospects up to the bigs directly from AA more often now. Is this just part of the ebb and flow of things or have teams learned something that supports this approach?
(Ben from California)		I think teams have seen this born out by their actions, and it's also one of the benefits of better industry-wide appreciations of blending their evaluations of prospects, utilizing the best of what scouting and performance analysis has to offer. Teams flog the bushes more thoroughly than ever to find guys, so these days it's a bit harder to fill out a Ken Phelps All-Star team that isn't just Scott McClain and a bunch of tweeners in the outfield. (Christina Kahrl)
