I Got Mad

Well, I just did something I try not to—post a response to a story. We’ll see how James Fegan takes criticism. Fegan did a story for today’s The Athletic responding to Keith Law’s rating of minor-league systems. Sorry, but it’s not about the players. It’s about the people who went out and acquired their talents. Not a word was said about the Sox scouting budget or number of scouts employed or scouting philosophy, or draft philosophy, for that matter. Just a discussion of guys who might rank in the top 100 soon. Talk about armchair analysis. It’d be fine if I didn’t pay so much for a subscription to The Athletic.
