Adbono;

thank you for the "kind" words. Last night, a pro baseball scout visited my home and we discussed the "metric" topic. The game as we know is "rapidly" changing and not to our expectations.

When I "started" the Area Code games in 1987, there was NO competition.

Since I did not charge the players, the pro scouts ID the prospects based on their own experience, CIA training, and personal playing experience. Today, you have machines evaluating and MLB supporting the sharing of info.

There is NO machine that can duplicate a hitter facing a Bob Gibson "fast ball" in the 9th inning with the bases loaded.

Today, I ask myself how would I adjust to the current situation.
