Dude, you're either easily amused, or have poor reading comprehension.
I'm a huge fan of scouts. I've mentioned this countless times on the site. Other than making it my signature in each post, I don't know how else to put it.
It's true that when the vague generalities that come out of a scout's mouth can be tabulated into a provable stat, I consider it a pleasing advancement.
Sorry, I can't help it that you're a Luddite who detests trying to quantify the game by going much beyond, "That thar fella is a fine ballplayer. That other fella...he kinda sucks."
You're lucky, though: at least you're blessed with being a fan of a team with one of the few remaining front offices in the game who talk about things like "five-tool players," and "he's got a baseball Face."
That puts you on the side of angels in Cubland.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
