Check out the numbers of the Marlin’s Mike Stanton. Currently at AA Jacksonville. He is a big kid 6’3 or 4″ that can really run. He was recruited as a WR at USC. He has a plus arm and can play all three outfield positions.

Johnson and Soriano were actually just as hyped – if not more – than Montero. Maybe by this time next year, that’ll be different, but right now Montero hasn’t gotten the hype that either of them had.

Your initial statement was not wrong as it was an opinion and therefore can be neither right nor wrong. You did however fail to make your point clear. You said one thing when you clearly meant another. Then you tried to hide behind big words.

Strasburg wasn’t the greatest pitching prospect ever a year ago but he was viewed as the potential first overall pick. He was undrafted out of high school and not well regarded at the time if that’s what you mean.

Soriano was hyped. I didn’t follow prospects at the time, but I knew his name. I knew nothing about him other than that he was supposed to be the “next big thing.”

I knew nothing about Nick Johnson before he arrived in New York, but I’ve read about the hype he received for his hitting ability.

TSJC,

Given the tone you’ve taken with Zach, it seems worth noting that, as Chris points out, even your clarification of your initial statement is wrong. And if you look at the NL, Pittsburgh is probably about 150 mi east of Atlanta. So the divisions just don’t make perfect geographical sense.

That was all very fun to read, but now that I’m though it, here’s a question: Why do all the Division winners need to move on the Playoffs? Why can’t they just raise a Division Champion Banner in the spring and watch the four best teams from their league compete against each other in the Fall. And another question: Why does MLB insist on some stupid tennis-like arrangement for their playoff match-ups? It should be 1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3 regardless of division winner/wild card.

Done ranting, but still hoping for some answers…
