Thanks to Brian turning this around so quickly:

With the arrival of the Brewers Media Guide I was able to update the scouts and scouting map. This year we have made sure that this page matches the overall look that we're trying to achieve with the new site design, and Brian has added some fancy feature for FireFox browsers.

 

The biggest change is the departure of Jeff Brookens, who previously oversaw PA, VA, MD, DE & WV, and the arrival of Joe Mason, who will scout TN, AL, MS & LA. Some scouting responsibilities have been shifted around, as NE scout Tony Blengino picks up PA & DE, TX scout Ray Montgomery will soley focus on TX now (he used to cover LA as well), Grant Brittain is now scouting WV, MD in addition to NC while not covering SC, Eastern TN & GA anymore, while Douglas Reynolds is focusing his energy on SC, GA and panhandle FL instead of AL, MS and most of TN like he previously covered.

 

Not the most exciting of news, but I find it interesting which scouts are covering what areas. I think having Montgomery focus solely on Texas could be one of the more interesting developments, because the Brewers really haven't drafted & signed a lot of players out of Texas the last several years. We know they have hit Arizona & Florida hard.

 

The scouts in Canada and Latin America have stayed the same.
