Matt Szczur to Daytona

[TruffleShuffle]

the guy gave [expletive] bone marrow to a baby he'd never met before, but yeah he's probably a complete jerk who is hated by his teammates.

Videographer has posted some very informative stuff on here at times. I'll get that out of the way now. And he's certainly knowledgable enough to know the small sample sizes that he's using here, so to me anyway, there's only one question here: Has Szczur done something that Videographer has heard of, that isn't common knowledge(and maybe not even true) that makes him think this is worth addressing, because this post is certainly coming WAAAAAAAAAAAY out of leftfield otherwise, if you ask me......

This echoes my feelings. Good poster, making a huge leap like this is strange with nothing but w/l record in ten games as a basis.

Even good posters with all their sample sizes in order can make dumb posts.

When Szczur was not with Peoria during his college graduation, the team went 1-2

Anyway, I expected a quick reaction to this small query. Looking at stats and other numbers is only a small portion of what makes a player a prospect or non-prospect. Thinking about what is not said or done can lead to other insights that further our knowledge of a player's capability. I noticed something I thought was unusual and posted for others to speculate. I am not attacking the perceived good character of a prominent Cub prospect, but any good examination of a prospect starts with a good base of critical analysis. We shouldn't tie our emotions of wanting a player to succeed and overlook flaws that may hinder a prospect in the long run. Good analysis means having the ability to throw away insights when disproved and I expect the anomaly of Peoria's winning without Szczur to be disproved. However, its still important to speculate..

 

This is all nonsense.
