International Scouting Request Topic

Please stop sending me emails including rhetorical questions about whether ours is the only franchise to have unearthed this needle in a hay stack. We all know that 24 ******* teams have already opened the same email.

I stopped reading the emails like 7 or 8 years ago of real life time. Open player link and delete email immediately.

reading email from my international scouts is fun. I look at their ratings and then try to guess what the scouts will say about them. Like a guy with a 15 vsL and an 18 vs R will be touted as an offensive player! Its funny!

Makes me wonder, if my scouts are calling guys 15VsL and 18 VsR offensive Gems, what would my ratings be like if I were in the sim? 2 and 3 all across the board?

Or are my scouts making me look stupid, picking random kids off the street in Cuba while they sip Taquilla on the beach?

I've always thought that as funny. This "offensive" 1B with a projected 0 contact. So basically you've scouted him and never seen him make contact and you're telling me to sign him. Keep up the good work.

Do they have an MLB combine?

Scout: I've seen this guy bench press 700 lbs 30 times without breaking a sweat!
Me: But he struck out 47 times in 47 at bats!
Scout: No time to talk now! I'm off to find the next Diamond in the Rough.

Off the top of my head... "well-rounded" = "can't hit." "Speedy" means "can't hit." "Offensive" means DH unless it's a C in which case he might actually be able to field a little. "Potential superstar" could be, but more likely means "utility guy". "Hard throwing" means "poor splits." About the only one that seems even 50-50 to hit is "finesse pitcher with control." Oh, and "defensive" usually means "defense and nothing but."
