Another Bay Area team has hired a former Los Angeles Dodgers general manager into its front office, but it wasn’t the A’s or Giants who bolstered their scouting departments on Friday.
The Sharks announced that the team has hired ex-Dodgers GM Ned Colletti as a scout.
Colletti has an impressive resume as a talent evaluator in baseball, having spent 35 years around the game, including a stint as the assistant GM for the Giants.
However -- and I don’t think I’m breaking any news here -- baseball and hockey are two very different sports with vastly different evaluation processes for prospects.
