Bucco Breakfast: Scouting Your Own Team?

Welcome to Bucco Breakfast, a new daily morning feature designed to help you through the offseason. Each day we’ll roll out a quick topic designed to spark conversation as well as provide some interesting baseball reading from around the web.

Noted MLB insider Jon Heyman had a tidbit about the New York Yankees in a recent MLB Notes column that raised an eyebrow for me.

GM Brian Cashman is trying something different by having two scouts “advance” his own team. The idea is to pick up flaws other teams may see. Seems like a worthwhile idea …

Not only is this a worthwhile idea, I am flabbergasted that more teams are not doing this.
