According to Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Phillies have hired Greg Schilz to be their National Scouting Coordinator. Schilz has been with the Pittsburgh Pirates as a scout since 2005, one of the few holdovers from the previous front office.
He began with the Pirates in 2004 as an Assistant to Baseball Operations, getting promoted to Area Scout after 18 months. After holding that position for six years, he was promoted to North Region Supervisor in 2011, one of four region supervisor positions for the Pirates. Schilz was the signing scout for Brandon Cumpton, Jason Creasy and Jake Burnette, among current players in the system.
