The worst find ever...

tysok · 07-24-2006, 01:58 PM

My scout found this hidden player and thinks this guy is "definately worth watching" ... he is, I'm sending all my pitchers over to watch him so they know what not to do.

The upside... at least I know he won't get any worse.

Hey, the man can sacrafice bunt though! We all know how important it is to manufacture your runs that way!

And he has pretty good endurance. So you should be able to put him in for blowouts, or if your team is really good you could use him to keep the games close so your closer can get more save opportunities.

Well, he's fairly intelligent and has a good work ethic. So, maybe he'll make a good manager or coach.

By the way, he's not the scout's cousin's kid, or anything, is he?

Gambling problem? Maybe the scout lost a bet?

Possible pinch-runner?

Your scout has been sipping one to many pops while on the team payroll it seems. May have to re-evaluate his worth to the team

He's intelligent. Put him on your staff as a sacrifice bunt coach! And if that doesn't work out, maybe he can be in charge of the coffee machine or something...

If you switch to the 2-8 ratings scale, those 1's should improve to 2's.

LOL at the replies in this thread.

scefalu · 07-25-2006, 11:55 AM

Hey did anyone else notice that this guy's 30? At least he won't get worse as he ages!

Scott Vibert · 07-25-2006, 12:18 PM

He's got a really hot sister. Hence the reason he's definitely worth watching, she's in the stands.

Mad Jackal · 07-25-2006, 01:23 PM

I don't have anything witty to add.

I just wanted to ask if that was the ratings given to him by the best scout you had?

(I mean did your scrub scout find him and report this or were you looking with the best guy and got this in return ?)

The guy who found him was a scrub, so I sent my best scout out to see if he was really that bad... the humor value received was well worth the cost of sending my head scout to double check his uselessness.

The scout, Wayne Aubin, is rated 20 in every scouting category. We assigned this guy TT# 1, then sent Aubin out... he replied with "TT# 1, confirmed sucky.

Use him as a batting practice pitcher when your hitters' confidence needs a little boost.

Put him at second base, have him convert to Judaism and he'll become the next Rod Carew.
