                  Another Saturday night drinking with the scouts at the Barleymoe

        Tonight Elijah Craig is joined by Jose Cuervo, George Dickell and Johnny Walker


Elijah: I thought we would talk about Wilin Doubront and what he represents.

George: Who the heck is he?

Johnny: He's the first international signed in season 62.

Jose : Wilin Doubront is a pitcher from Moncion, DO. He was signed by trapapoodle for 1.6 million a couple of days ago.

Johnny: I scouted him. I see him as a long reliever with quality pitches and good splits but the periphery stuff is questionable. He will should make the majors, and depending on how is developed and used is likely to be a very usable member in a strong bullpen.

George: It is well known that I'm frugal...

Elijah: Frugal my ass, you're cheap George!

George...but 1.6 million is a lot for a bullpen member.

Johnny: I think anyone who questions the trapper this early in season is making a mistake. This could be like season 58, when the trapper signed 11 international free agents.

Jose: That was the year the trapper was very agressive in the international market and signed Max Macias. Max will have a great career in the majors.

George: In the  international market, you always have hits and misses. I just think that 1.6 ...

Elijah: There you go again George it's not the talent it the dollars; with you

George...takes away a lot of flexibility for signing prospects as the season goes on.

Johnny: Elijah, I will order the last round of drinks but do any of us want to compare ourselves to the Trapper.

Elijah: Johnny, do you want to end our Saturday meetings. That's way too high a standard for what we are  doing at the Barleymoe.

Jose: I will order the uber.
