siddfynch (Alaska): Related question about summer league: How much to the major league teams scout a remote summer league like Alaska? I know the Cards seem comfortable taking guys from there - Canham (failed to sign), Maiques, and Daley were all taken by the Cards after playing up here. Do the Cards have a scout on hand to follow these guys in June and July?
Bryan Smith: Let's go back to back here. I don't want to say every Major League team covers the Alaska League, but yeah, I could probably say it -- every team spends at least some time there. The Northwest area scout for every team is going to be sent up to Alaska for at least a week or two, but when the league is surveyed and it looks particularly juicy, I'm sure a host of teams will spend even more time up there. I think you picked up on an interesting trend from the Cards, and I'm sure St. Louis scouts the league.
