Jocketty isn't a scout only GM, his background doesn't lend to that distinction, sure he might lean on scouting as his strength and he might have balked at his success in St Louis being broached by a forced on him (numbers first) partner, but his background with Oakland and with LaRussa means he's actually spent some time discussing numbers in the past. It's not as though he's a Luddite, or even worse a Cam Bonify type of GM.
