Around SBN: Devils Beat Rangers, Head To Stanley Cup Finals

John Sickels will have an All Questions Answered thread up at minorleagueball.com today (Friday) at 10 am Eastern time. These are always entertaining, illuminating, and open for only an hour or so, so if you're registered to comment at minorleagueball, head over there and ask some Bucco questions!

The thread is here — there was another thread that wasn’t the real thread, so don’t post questions in that one.

Not actually affiliated with whygavs.

Thanks.

Finally got a chance to ask the question I’ve wanted him to answer for years: What would he have made of Gary Redus as a prospect after the 1978 season?

I saw that

but he hasn’t answered yet, dammit. That is a REALLY good question.

Sickels didn’t know the answer but I asked him why scouts use the 20-80 scale instead of (and maybe this is just too crazy) 0-100. Anybody on here have any insight on this one?

Well done.

That’s crystal-clear. Rec.

Agreed

Fantastic explanation.

Damn, beat me to it

This exactly, perfect explanation

The glare of the spotlight is harsh, and the pressure that success breeds immense. We revere our heroes, but expect much. And criticism can come as easily as praise.

Egghead likes his booky-wook!

But seriously, 3 sigma explanation is spot on.

Sickels gave him a B

(pending other available scouting reports). I can’t help but chuckle at the woe-is-me, poor us, anti-Pirates bias fury that would be strewn about if a Pirates prospect (even a 21 year old in Rookie Ball) put up those numbers and was only a B prospect…

Got my Sickels 2012 book today

So pumped that he shares my enthusiasm for Adalberto Santos. Yeah!
