I'm totally theorizing here but it seems a successful talent evaluator would've been around ball players for a long time and have a shit ton of experience to be really good at what they do.

Agreed. They are two different positions, with two entirely different sets of requirements. I don't think anyone would argue that Vinny has certainly lagged behind the rest of the class, so to speak, regarding his learning curve (if he even has one). Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but I still keep hoping he's starting to figure out what makes a good FO and what doesn't -- because he's likely our top brass for a while.
