Eyewitness Accounts http://t.co/WJwl5yUjIo When I stepped away from the second chair and into Kevin Goldstein’s vacated spot on the stage, I decided that the spine of my prospect architecture would be eyewitness scouting evaluations. The goal was not to portray myself or other members of the prospect team as industry-level scouts; being a fabulist wouldn’t benefit the product or the public paying for that product. The goal was to offer evaluations from a more personal point of view, reports that originated at the fields instead of on the phones or the search engines. I put together a team of talent evaluators I felt had the chops to sit in the stands and document the action on the field in an authentic manner. I wanted to hire the type of talent that would one day receive the bait from the private sector, joining up with the industry that I learn from on a daily basis. That team is in place. Going forward, Baseball Prospectus will publish a weekly series featuring eyewitness evaluations from the staff, complete with scouting grades, detailed notes and (in many cases) video. These reports will attach to the player cards and offer a wealth of information throughout the season; with multiple looks from multiple sources, you will be able to track a prospect’s progression through the developmental process. As the games continue and we populate the minor-league stadiums around the country, the reports will start to pile up, and hopefully the season will conclude with a healthy reservoir of reports for you to pick through, compare, contrast, dissect and disagree with. I can’t think of a better means to study the minor-league process than with a collection of scouting reports from quality eyes, provided over the course of a season, and if everything continues as planned, for the duration of the players’ prospect journeys. This has been under my cap since last October, and thanks to a brilliant support staff and a collection of talented team members, we are finally ready to light the fuse on this series and take our prospect coverage to the next level. My electronic door is always open for questions or comments, and I hope you enjoy this new approach as much as I have enjoyed the process of putting it together. —Jason Parks -- 從現在起Baseball Prospectus每週都會提供staff現場觀察的情報，會對各隊新秀進行 評分、描述，甚至有會以影片記錄下來。 第一篇裡面提到的球員包含 Robert Stephenson (CIN), Kyle Zimmer (KC) Kevin Gausman (BAL), Henry Owens (BOS) Chris Withrow (LAD), Taijuan Walker (SEA) (因為裡面的表格沒辦法直接複製貼上，所以就不附上來囉) -- https://twitter.com/ProfessorParks https://twitter.com/baseballpro 可以追蹤這兩個帳戶來取得最新資訊 -- http://ppt.cc/D3RL --
