Nobody really knows me but i am a scout for the Montgomery Biscuits, a AA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. I am going to let you amatuers in on a little secret about what us and the devil rays are looking for.
1. I want someone who will compete out there.
2. Were looking for someone who can hit a 420 foot bomb with a woody.
3. Pitchers who can bring the heat, if your not at 90 you should consider outfield.
4. Multiple pitches: 5 pitches is a must
Knuckleballs, cutters, sinkers, palmballs, screwballs are hot comodities and revolutionizing the game as we know it.
5. The look is as important, if you look like a ballplayer you are a ballplayer.
6. Understand the game, a home run is better than a sac bunt ANY DAY. The longball puts people in the seats.
7. Speed is an overated tool, instead of worrying about stealing bases, players just need to be on base so the hitters behind them can hit homeruns. For instance how do you think eckstein made the cardinals lineup. So pujols can hit a homerun behind him. Same with Johnny Gomes and Carl Crawford.
Thats all the time i have for now if you need more enlightenment comment back.
