Off-night tonight following the day game, so I recommend checking out this Dan Barbarisi article on the Yankees hiring recently retired players as scouts. Matt Daley, Dan Giese, Eric Chavez, Brandon Duckworth, and Drew Henson all work in the team’s scouting department these days. Daley spoke about the transition from playing to scouting — things like setting a schedule and arranging travel are new to him because players have all that stuff done for them — and assistant GM Billy Eppler talked about what draws the Yankees to these guys. Check it out. Great read.
