No more metal bats in NYC

[OleMissCub]

The whole point was that I was defending college baseball from being labeled as amateurish and comical by some on this board who even admitted they had never even seen a college game.

 

They are amateurs, so what's the point of defending them against being called amateurish?

 

It was the disparaging way in which they were talked about which I didn't like. College baseball players, especially the ones in the tougher conferences, work extremely hard and have a tremendous amount of athleticism.

 

BUT, after a three page derail, I'd like to see college shift to wooden bats from purely a safety standpoint.

 

I remember our coach saying that he didn't think they'd ever go back to wood bats because having aluminum bats is really conducive to schools that don't have that much money for their baseball programs. Given the amount of games that are played in a college season, the average team would go through a ton of bats. Whereas the team can just buy 10 bats or so at the start of the season that should last them till the end.

The only relevance to my having played is my ability to have heard scouts equate certain college conference players to minor leaguers.

 

It is amatuer baseball, though. A very high level of amatuer ball, but nonetheless amatuer.

 

Comical? I'd love to be able to watch SEC baseball again.

 

I'm sure high ceiling SEC guys did get compared to major league players and some could possibly go to AA and do well, but that's a different boat than the SEC in general.

 

You can't compare someone who won't get drafted with someone who's at AA, most SEC players won't get drafted let alone make it to AA. There's something with that AA player that some scout saw enough of to draft and sign him, then there's something there that got that player up to AA.

He's a scout. For one of the best talent-procuring teams in the majors.

Because!...DAMN YOU LASER GUY.

Doesn't hurt me at all because I know what I heard 4 years ago. If he's a scout then maybe he can explain to me what two of his compatriots must've meant when they told me that they equate SEC and Pac-10 baseball to AA. FWIW I've also heard professional scouts equate it to High A.

He must scout for the Illuminati or the Masons.

A lot of scouts are dopes and homers for the area they're scouting.

[UK1679666180]

Knowing a few scouts and being one are separate things, I know some in the area, but as far as being one and being paid as one, that's a different story.

 

You're barking up the wrong tree if you assume I'm scout and I apologize if I gave that impression.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

My bad. I was wrong.

[Yeti]

what has been proven true is that players from the SEC get roughly the same amount of ladies as AA players.
