Some say that the baseball scouts of years past are becoming antiques, and being pushed out of the game by new ways to evaluate players that don’t involve just eyeballing a high school pitcher, things like “numbers” and “statistics.” Fortunately, one scout refuses to go quietly into the night and offers his evaluation regarding Joba Chamberlain’s inclusion on the Yankees’ playoff roster, however inane it may be.
Joba Is a ‘Grunt-and-Fart Guy’
↵↵“He is a grunt-and-fart guy, he’s Joba,” the scout said. “As soon as he tries to pitch, he moves around and loses his delivery.”
↵↵Don’t you ever go away, old-timey baseball scouts.
