As part of a reorganization by first-year general manager Dan O'Brien, the scouting department was split into three areas: amateur, professional and international.is this growing trend good for baseball? is it necessary for the sport?

I think it is - you need to have eyes everywhere to get the best players - part of the natural evolution of the game.

I thought every team did that to begin with.

You have to have good scouts, but you must spend your money wisely. Better to study one or two of these three areas well than all three half-assed.
