Dan Evans has been in professional baseball for over three decades, holding key decision making roles with five MLB franchises, including three years as the Los Angeles Dodgers Executive Vice President and General Manager. Evans’ career began as an intern with the Chicago White Sox, where he worked his way up from the bottom and eventually became their Assistant General Manager/Director of Baseball Operations.
Evans brings a unique perspective to the Baseball Analytics course, having been a SABR member since the beginning of his career, and an original board member of the Professional Baseball Scouts Foundation.
He also has worked as a broadcast analyst for MLB games, authors a column for Baseball Prospectus and is an original member of the Professional Baseball Scouts Foundation. In addition to teaching the Baseball General Manager and Scouting course, and assisting with the Baseball Analytics course, Evans also evaluates talent for the Toronto Blue Jays, overseeing their entire Pacific Rim operations.
For nearly 40 years Hank Jones worked the Pacific Northwest region as a trusted scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers, helping the organization win two World Series (1981, 1988) and succeeding under four different ownership groups, seven general managers and five scouting directors.
Often when there is an organizational regime change, the scouting staff is turned over to new members. But not Hank. His reputation in MLB is beyond reproach, and every new GM and scouting director wanted Jones to stay on their staff.
A slick-fielding middle infielder, Jones was drafted in the 15th round of the MLB Draft to the San Francisco Giants in 1972. He played three seasons in the Giants minor league system before joining the Dodgers organization in 1976 Rule 5 Draft.
For the rest of his career in baseball, he represented Dodger blue.
As a scout, Jones was assigned to the Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Alaska, Hawaii, and Western Canada areas. He was a fixture during the draft, often the only amateur scout allowed in the room due to his highly sought-after judgment and reputation.
His expertise is baseball scouting, player evaluation and understanding organizational decision making is beyond compare. Sign up for SMWW’s Baseball GM and Management online course and you can learn from this pillar of the game.
