Ok. Did you miss my point? Theriot is 27 years old. When he was the same age as Cedeno, he was plying his trade in single A. Cedeno was 23 last season when you said he sucked, yet Theriot is just having growing pains. If anything, the opposite is true. Theriot at 27 is likely at his peak, since most players begin their peak at 27. His peak is below average. Cedeno didn't perform last year. That is true, but he was 23 years old. What Cedeno is hitting at AAA, Theriot hasn't approached at any level. So, if Theriot is experiencing growing pains, then Cedeno is too. Are you really this dense, or do you just get a hard on for a player and can't see the truth? They have relatively the same ML experience. And...? Cedeno had his ML experience at a MUCH younger age than Theriot. Why isn't Cedeno just having "growing pains?" Cedeno has also put up better minor league numbers. Again, why is Theriot going through "growing pains" despite his mediocre minor league career and limited ML success, but Cedeno is "just bad" even though he's a better minor leaguer and also had short lived ML success?
