Along with that, I met a lot of reports who were impressed by my story and site. Although it may not have the best content, it is pretty impressive for a 17 yr old. If you look at my interviews, you can see that I have intereviewed several GMs, and have more coming. Furthermore, I talk with reporters and agents regulary, and catch fillers that way as well.<BR/><BR/>As for my full name, Eli is all you need to know. It is how I end every email and letter. It is how people know me. Sort of like Ichiro, but not as extreme, or cool.<BR/><BR/>If you want to send me an email, it is mlbrumors@gmail.com. I will tell you my full name, most of the people I talk to, and other things like that. I will not do that here. But i love talking about this stuff so I would definitely give you my story and the sites story.Elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463365662085467794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37446836.post-69231853393043514672008-03-12T22:58:00.000-05:002008-03-12T22:58:00.000-05:00It still doesn't totally ring true.

And it has nothing to do with jealousy or being a hater.<BR/><BR/>Essentially it comes down to this - there's no last name to go with Eli's first name. So there's no way for anyone to ever confirm/deny his claim of having inside info from scouts and GMs.<BR/><BR/>I could just as easily start a free blogpost.com blog and post random rumors from unnamed sources and visitors to the site would be left to choose to believe me at my word or question me because of my inconspicuous unwillingness to divulge any info about myself.<BR/><BR/>Again, I'm not making any accusations, I'm simply saying that the lack of certain foundation credentials (like an explanation of how you know so many GMs and scouts to regularly be chatting it up with them) makes your site far less credible than if you posted such info.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37446836.post-16569508494592043212008-03-11T16:46:00.000-05:002008-03-11T16:46:00.000-05:00When it comes from somewhere else, it will have a ...When it comes from somewhere else, it will have a link. otherwise, it is mine.

Eli CAN'T always divulge sources and sometimes is simply repeating the rumors he has been made aware of. All in all, he's about as accurate as the big-budget boys. Oh, and could you please explain "unnamed name dropping?" I don't get it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37446836.post-28677310915623323202008-03-10T22:11:00.000-05:002008-03-10T22:11:00.000-05:00Eli, Don't let these jealous haters get to you man...Eli, Don't let these jealous haters get to you man. Funny how you can find jealousy everywhere, even on the internet. You run a nice, decent site here. Keep up the good work. For every hater, there are 100 cool people.<BR/><BR/>jimodirak@aol.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37446836.post-35246942055884255232008-03-10T19:41:00.000-05:002008-03-10T19:41:00.000-05:00You really need to find a new source for your Gian...You really need to find a new source for your Giants information.
