I'm a recovering alcoholic union steward for a tier one railroad. Soften up? Please.
And I'm a full time streamer who sells sports memorabilia. It is my job to figure out who I can make money on and who isn't worth a dime. And being financially responsible, watching as many juniors and MLB minor league games is just something I do. (Basketball and football are pretty much set with who will have value)
When this forum was all about Madrigal, I was the one saying he sucked. Why? Not because of stupid shit like I'm a Cubs fan, because I actually watched the guy. And guess what? He sucks.
When people here were saying Eloy was going to be the Sox version of KB, I was the one who said"idk Vince, he's injury prone". And guess what? He's injury prone.
So when I say something when it comes to "prospecting" it's because I actually know a thing or two about the player because I am invested in certain players.
I have watched a lot of Seattle games and right now I think Allan is the best prospect. That's my opinion. And please, don't start that "high ceiling" drivel.
Who had a higher ceiling? Dustin Ackley? Or Mike Trout?
Ackley was taken second overall in 2009 right after Strausburg while Trout was taken 25th right after the White Sox took Jared Mitchell who was also another high ceiling guy.
At 18 and 19, you
do not know what somebodies ceiling is. It's a damn draft trope.
This forum was calling an 18 year old kid a bust right after he was drafted. Well, that bust got better. I also like Korchinski, but I'm also realistic in thinking if he was something special, in that draft, there would have been no way he lasted until the Hawks picked him. He might be very good, but he's certainly not going to be the next Makar or anything on that level.
And to answer your question, how many games I watch? It depends. I have three hard drives constantly recording shit and usually have games playing while I'm streaming. I don't work a nine to five and my day consists of waking up, working out, eating steak then whatever, usually streaming. So I can watch either a ton of stuff or very little.
