Title: Enlightenment on traditional scouting
Review: I read this book and assumed it would be an answer to Moneyball, and in some ways it was. But the best description I saw was in an earlier review. If you read the first 4-7 chapters to get a history and an overview of the scouting program, as well as 1 or 2 of the scouting stories on prospects, you get the idea. Then skip to the end and read the last 2 chapters. If that was all the book was, then it would been a fascinating read. But as a competitor to moneyball, it doesnt hold a candle to the book in general.First, moneyball was well written. This book could've been a compilation of a home schooled sophmore in high school research and writing course. Moneyball actucally has flow, and tells stories differently. Scout's honor tells the same story over and over.Here's my suggestion. Buy the book, read the first 10 chapters and the last 2, and then return it.
Is the review positive or negative?
