thanks for answering, i guess the other 'pros' dont
seem to take this in the right frame of mind.
1st off i want to say that i judge todays jai alai players based
on seeing th BEST in the game that ever played,and who they played
against.
for instance, Bolivar being the best in the front and Elorza II
being the best in the back would be my humble opinion.
with you being a former pro, who in your opinion would be the top
5 ever to play against?
who would you LIKE to play against?
do players look at the score board when they are on deck, and if
they have enough points to be in the money and are up against
a team with possible game point, do they not play into the kill?
i figure that if i was a player and my paycheck was determined
on wins, places, shows, i would take this into consideration and
clinch the money when i could (being if i only played an average
of 40 games per week)
what is the pay-scale of the win-place-show purses? do they change
in singles?
does the purses change as the games go up in number?
would you consider yourself as strong a player or stronger against
some of the players that played in the last strike?
if you are one of the players that did come in the game because
of the strike, was it fair of people to judge your talents the
1st year? 3rd year? 5th year? 10th year?
when you were a rookie, did you have to start in 1 or 2 games per
night? or did you get moved into the middle or late games inside
of 1 year?
are there any bonuses for finishing with top places in the fronton?
just a few i always wonder about, and since there is a lethargic
way about the style of players and their abilities today, do you
agree now that as a fan that players should show a little hustle
every time they walk on the court?
i would imagine that it would be considered a privelege to play
and players would always give their best hustle, even if they are
outplayed. i myself always take into consideration the hustle
factor of a player before i risk my cash on them.
do players even take this into consideration? or does the attitude
they have as if the world OWES them always seem to penetrate their
every existance?
is it fair to say that fans should always judge? or do you take
the opinion that the fans do not count in any of it at all?
do players even know that they have a fan base?
this might be a little too much for you to take in by yourself, so
i invite any pro or former pro to also help in the answers.
i am in no way intened to harm or accuse anyone of anything, but
the truth sometimes hurts and you cant always please everyone
when questions and answers are exchanged.
i hope you and other players could answer these questions truthfully
and honestly, no matter how hard it is.
