The SABR Scouts eGroup is a restricted and unmoderated discussion group for members of The Society for American Baseball Research - Scouts Research Committee. The expressed purpose of this site is to foster interactive communication between members regarding areas of interest about professional baseball scouts and player development personnel. Our designated research projects are to compile a comprehensive historical log of full-time major league scouts including profiles and oral histories, and formulating the "Who-Signed-Who" Scout/Player database with complete biographical, statistical and organizational information. Subscribers are also encouraged to post the URLs, titles and/or brief summaries of "Baseball Scouts in the News" articles that they believe would be of interest to other committee members. We support the work of the Scout of the Year Foundation and their current project to accord professional baseball scouts the long overdue recognition they deserve in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
