How so? If you actually take the time to compare Hart's numbers to Theriot's they aren't very similar at all. How do you get from stats that aren't similar to a "very, very apt" comparison? Guys who were two years old for their league that came up and hit out of their minds in their initial Major League time. Hart's minor league numbers were even worse than Theriot's, so when he regressed he couldn't make a Major League roster. Similarly, when Theriot regresses he in all likelihood will find himself in a bench role. I'm not saying it doesn't, I'm actually asking, but how does being a year or two old for your league mean that you are going to regress? I can understand how if you are old for your league it means that you aren't likely to get demonstrably better than your current level of production because you have potentially maxed yourself out, but how does it mean that you are doomed to regress? I think he means regressing from the 336/416/534 line that he has right now.
