this has to be a work... i mean maybe if it's legit it's truly a fuck-you-letter, but i mean.... are random little baseball scouts that clever at writing? the weakness section seemed to be written by a mind beyond that of a mid-level baseball scout.

I'm tending to sini's view on this... the Summation font appears to be slightly different resolution.

Still funny as shit

I know a guy who wrote a report on a guys hair. Gave him 6's and 7's. It was major league hair.

Baseball scouts don't resign. They work that job until death

They actually jump affiliations quite a bit. I was just reading about a guy in the Tampa organization who scouted Pujols as a 19 year old. He resigned when the (Devil) Rays didn't take a flyer on a guy who he was convinced would turn out to be... Pujols.
