From Jon Morosi: Just spoke with Theo Epstein, who offered this extraordinarily positive feedback on the Tigers hiring of Scott Harris, a key member of the Cubs World Series-winning front office.

Looking for a little clue about the pedigree of Scott Harris baseball philosophy and roster construction.
SFG were top 5 in baseball in 2021 and 2022 in walk rate..both years 9.4% or better ..this makes my heart flutter immediately..DET is currently 30/30 teams at 6.5%.
Here's what I will say about this..Scott Harris was not brought here to follow the lead of AJ Hinch..he has too much resume to be somebody's helper..and thats a good thing..it alleviates my biggest concern...the question becomes will there be chemistry.
So here's a fast analysis which essentially more questions than answers for me..Harris has a great pedigree..book smart to a fault..worked in the commissioners office early then became part of a large think group working for Theo Epstein in CHC..
Still have zero idea what his baseball philosophy is..beliefs about roster construction and style of play or players..what he is as a talent evaluator or his capacity to attract infrastructure..also what does this mean for Garko..so what do we know..not a damn thing yet..

Scott Harris' three tenants for the Tigers going forward:

1. Acquire, develop and retain young players

2. Create a culture of development. Players should think they can come to DET and get better

3. Controlling the strike zone on both sides is key to everything.
