Baseball America's Chris Kline is joining Allan Matthews in the amateur scouting world. Matthews took a job with the Rockies a month or two ago, with Kline becoming the upper Midwest area scout of the Pirates recently.

 

A very cool opportunity for both individuals, beginning their careers as sports journalists/columnists. Matthews' appointment isn't that surprising, who attended scout school a year or two ago and clearly had a grasp for scouting terminology. Kline's hire is a little more surprising, although few covered the minor leagues like he did for the past couple of years.

 

Congrats to both. Definite proof that hard work and dedication can pay off.
