I never once said or implied that they looked at the numbers to determine talent! I said they looked at the numbers to determine who was on the radar. Think about it. Why would a scout go to Backwater High to see Jeb play? Would he go there because he heard the kid had talent? And how do you suppose the person telling him that would make that determination?

You guys act as though I’m saying all scouts do is look at the numbers, run them through some magical algorithm, then offer a contract or not based on what comes out. Well that’s dog rockets, and something I’ve never ever tried to say.
