There are not many smarter baseball minds than that of Chicago White Sox broadcaster Steve Stone. He played for the White Sox for three seasons in the 1970s and is a very intelligent baseball man. The way he broadcasts as a color commentator is very different than a lot of his colleagues because he has a knack for knowing what is going to happen as far as an approach by a hitter or pitcher before they even do it.
You would think someone in Stone’s position would have a little bit of an ear on the inside of the organization and can be trusted when he says something.
