Yanks New "Quadrants"

George King, who's about as accurate as a broken clock, has been peddling the idea that the Yanks are dividing their scouting and development operation into 4 separate departments, all responsible to the GM.   He's been pimping the quad decision for weeks, including today in Baseball America - which might say something about them.

Anyway, according to King the new departments are pro scouting, amateur scouting, international scouting and player development.   He says they will all report to Cashman, but that doesn't really give Gary Denbo a job.   King says he won't be involved in the DR like Newman was.   Anyway, given the new titles, it's unclear where Denbo fits in.   They are still to name a head of development.   Damon Oppenheimer will remain as head of amateur scouts, and Donny Rowland will probably be formalized as the head of international scouting.

It's unclear who will be the head of pro-scouting and that's not so much what they should be focused on, anyway.   So we'll see what they have to announce when they finally make some announcements. For all we know they, and all we know about King, they could be dividing into eighths.
