Kind of quiet on here right now, in that post-summer lull I guess. Thought I would post this.
I recently saw a write up on my son calling him intriguing. I have seen that word used before in an assessment of a player and all I can discern from that is that the author looked at the kid and went "meh." Kind of like how a real estate agent will describe a house that is far too small as "cozy." But that whole thing led me to some funny thoughts (I'm weird that way).
So, suppose scouts wrote what they were really thinking about some of these players? I know there have been many scouts/coaches who have gone to events who left uninspired, but what if they put their thoughts down and reported them. I think I can imagine some of the write ups:
"Johnny is a 6'1" right handed hitting OF who really should get a refund on his hitting lesson money."
"...at 6'0" 150lbs, he is a force on the mound, sitting 90-91 and touching 93. Looking at his parents, it's clear he was adopted because neither look to have an athletic bone in their bodies...not sure about projectability"
"With full facial hair and a child safety seat in the back of his car, this 2022 prospect is mature beyond his years."
"Beautiful left handed swing because everyone else says so as well, I really don't know why I am writing this because I am a pitching coach."
"Hit a blast to CF that clearly had flubber on it."
Feel free to add you own...just some light humor.
