Hi all, this is Carlos Gomez, the author of the article at The Hardball Times and the one who did that brief LaPorta/Kozma video bit. One thing in particular that I'd like to address: He is somewhat guilty of judging on only a few at-bats, but he readily admits that that is a problem (he can only analyze the video that exists, after all). Guilty as charged. Part of the fun of an exercise like this for me is how much I can tell about a particular player from a few swings or a few pitches compared to what others say out there. I stand by them based on those videos. I am aiming for a job with an MLB team. They generally like the answer to the question: "Is he good or not?" and that's what I try to do. Read the scouting reports in baseballamerica.com and you swear that they are all going to be stars... I talked to a couple of teams' front office people and they are actually pretty impressed with what I'm doing and encourage me to come up with my opinions...so that's what I'll continue to do. Thanks for the comments. Good or bad, I appreciate them. Sincerely, Carlos
