Named one of the top 10 future scouting directors-
Ranked #7
7. Sean Johnson
West Coast Crosschecker, Twins
Johnson was a catcher at Wichita State from 1996-98 and served as the team's director of baseball operations before the Marlins hired him as a Midwest area scout in 2001. A few months later, when Jeffrey Loria sold the Expos to Major League Baseball and bought the Marlins, the Marlins' existing scouts were fired (replaced largely by the old Expos staff) and caused a ripple effect throughout the scouting community, including an unexpected opening with the Twins for an area scout in the Four Corners.
Johnson started there before moving up to West Coast crosschecker in 2007 when Deron Johnson became scouting director. "Sean is extremely bright," Deron Johnson said. "He's hard-working, he's a good evaluator and he's got extremely good people skills. That's a lethal combination."
