Sad day for baseball and the Blue Jays. Former scout Epy Guerrero has passed. Guerrero, of course, recruited a number of the franchise's greatest players. In scouting circles he was nothing short of a legend. In fact, it is hard to find a scout that rivaled his eye for talent and ability to get kids to sign on the dotted line. His work in Latin America paved the way for many to play in the Big Leagues and the strong reputation the Jays still hold in Latin America is largely his responsibility. Sad day indeed. Epy will be missed.
RIP.
It was on the 'box that i learned about the role Epy and Wooley Segap had in developing the talent in this organization that would bring us so much joy for all those years.

Epy and Wooley Segap
Not coincidentally, it was their leaving that started the 20 years of mediocrity.
And I'd almost forgotten that nickname.

Once again, spelling matters: it’s Wolley Segap, “yellow pages” spelled backwards -- in reference to Gillick’s remarkable memory.
Very sad. He was a major part of the Jays back in the 80's and it was a shame when it fell apart during Ash's reign of terror. Did the Jays ever do a special day for him? If the HOF ever puts scouts into it he should be an early one voted in.
