Status Quo or Changes

Do you really comprehend what unknown means? Or is it because you are naturally negative “unknown” automatically means bad. After last year would bringing back “the known” make you feel better? A lot of unknown heading into 2013 season and that turned out OK. A lot of unknown heading into 2015, that turned out ok.

"Unknown" is the lifeblood of what makes sports fun.

Agreed, you never really know what you got until you get out there and play the season.

From a drafting standpoint, scouts don't even watch you in the field unless you are a pitcher or catcher all they care about is what can you do with the bat. In MLB if you can mash but can't play defense they will find a place for you the same cant be said for the other way around.

just wow. I guess that's why every defense in major league baseball is so bad. I need a break.

Here is MLB's scouting system. Peace

"fielding has the greatest chances of improvement with contest practice" Harps back to what I said you could teach someone to catch it's a heck of a lot harder to teach someone to hit.

Take Sensely, for example, he did not get drafted for his field ability nor will Todd Lott. Let us look at Blake Trahan who was great in the field, but you think he would have been drafted in the 3rd if he batted .180 instead of .320

No. You said "scouts don't even watch you in the field unless you are a pitcher or catcher."

Let us look at Blake Trahan who was great in the field, but you think he would have been drafted in the 3rd if he batted .180 instead of .320

According to you, if Blake hit .180 he would never been drafted because scouts don't even look at fielders.

Which is it? Do scouts look at fielders, or not?

Reread the question ...


and to answer he would not have been drafted if he batted .180

First you you seem to think he would have not been drafted as high as 3rd round hitting .180, placing great value on his obvious defensive skills.

30 minutes later you say he would not have been drafted at all, which I agree with. At the same time, if he fielded like any other Cajun SS in the past decade, he would never been drafted either.

BT was not put on Team USA, or drafted because he could "mash". Stevie Wonder could see that.

Man seriously.. who is worried about the parking? I mean cmon..

LOL!!! The only parking concern I have is to avoid another foul ball. A few years ago a foul ball hit the roof of my car and caused a slight dent!!! LOL!!!

However, BT was not drafted because he could "mash". Stevie Wonder could see that.

BT batted .320 in 2014 & 2015 and was drafted in the 3rd round.

The question I asked was hypothetically speaking if BT batted .180 through 2015 would he still be selected in the 3rd round based off his fielding ability... my answer to that is no
