Yuniesky Betancourt Scouting Report Using Only Sentences From Dictionary.com

The player stationed in the field between the second and third bases. He is young for his age. A lackadaisical fellow. Indifferent to the sufferings of others. He's flat on his back after a long succession of failures. A rose in full bloom? A player of great promise? This story is the work of an active imagination. They gradually began to back away from their earlier opinion. Let's not talk of bygones. From a practical view, the situation presents several problems. A waste of talent. It is useless to reason with him. Can't hit a slider. A bad spark plug. He is the limit of irresponsibility. He is inept at mechanical tasks. What do you make of it? In this business you either have it or you don't. The truth is out at last. He's the kind of person you pity but want to keep at arm's length. Away with him! It can be done with ease.

I suppose that works.

Without the context, it just sounds idiotically redundant.

Depends on your definition of "written."

You took prefabricated segments of the English language and strung them together into a paragraph with the intent of carrying a specific meaning to an audience of readers.

When you “write” something you don’t usually invent all the words as you go along, so just because these prefabricated segments were sentences instead of individual words shouldn’t really matter.

Yuniesky Betancourt Scouting Report Using Only Sentences From Urbandictionary.com

A fool, a coward or an easily deceived person. A person who has un-planned sexual encounters with numerous people who they are not dating and do not intend to date. A range you would likely see used in a rent house or apartment owned by a cheap-ass landlord. A person playing a role of a clown but surprising everybody with smart and thoughtful comments and analyzes in different situations where the person finds it suitable. Staying with a hot chick even though you know you want to break up with her soon, just to showcase her to another hot chick you plan on replacing the old one with.

I think I'd prefer this sentence, in reference to Yuni:

“Though made famous when worn by Homer Simpson on an episode of The Simpsons, it does not seem to exist in real life. "
