Really great interview - very helpful in understanding the organization. Maybe you could do a podcast on how the organization has changed since Mr. Cohen has taken over.

So i was a quarterback through middle school and high school and when i started playing baseball my senior year of highschool, i instantly threw the ball well. Now im much older and i still throw a baseball really well and its so easy. And i really think playing quarterback growing up helped a lot with that. So sometimes one sport can help another. But not always. If i was a linebacker or offensive lineman or kicker those skills wouldn't have translated.

Excellent interview. Real good information.

I always hear coaches and scouts talk about athletes athletes athletes. But some of the top big leaguers are/were not athletes. They just do one thing at an elite level. Usually the best hitters are not great athletes. Usually the fastest runners are not great hitters. You can make the big leagues and be impactful there being elite at one thing. You don't have to be a great athlete. Look at vlad Guerrero jr. Rated a poor athlete in the draft, now on video game covers
