Also that post was not directed at you specifically New Era. There are other well-known posters here that say they "scout" players but all it means is they watch highlight clips.
Some just go by the "consensus" ranking and if the player is ranked lower than they were drafted they say it's a bad pick.
Then there's others like Scott Cullen who don't watch games, they just pore over stat lines and box scores.
It's all stupid. Too many people just forget that this isn't like watching a game live or on TV and then giving your grades based on what you saw. These are prospects 99% of people have never ever watched play, let alone live.
