The recent announcement that the Cardinals' scouting staff has been reorganized threw some water on our recent story that scout Steve Keim has been given the reins of the department.
The team announced late last week a pyramid structure, with George Boone serving as nationwide scouting supervisor. On the next level down, Keim will be responsible for the East and Jim Carmody will oversee the West. Keim and Carmody, in turn, will oversee five scouts who are assigned to specific regions of the country.
Word is, however, that Keim wasn't promoted all the way to the top of the department because G.M. Rod Graves felt compelled to defer to Boone, who is more senior to Keim. Still, we're hearing that Keim is "the guy" in the Arizona scouting department, notwithstanding the Cardinals' recent announcement that he's technically one rung from the top of the ladder.
