Dana Brown, the Astros’ general manager, is a “great clubhouse guy.” It helped him rise to the top of his profession, writes Barry Svrluga in Perspectives.
— he needed someone with an impeccable reputation who he knew could work with people. Brown, working as the vice president of scouting under Alex Anthopoulos in Atlanta, was the perfect fit — not only because of what he knew, but because he understands what he doesn’t know. Brown’s foundation is as a scout, and he knows what it’s like to drive around the Northeast watching high school games with temperatures in the 40s.
“His humility, that’s one of the biggest things that I learned from him,” Anthopoulos said. “It’s incredible. You combine that with personal intelligence, and it allows him to keep getting better and evolving. He’s evolved … right along with the game with everything — data, information, all those things. He constantly wants to learn and get better. He gets excited about it.
