Kottaras is the top prospect in the Padres' system and a very good prospect at catcher, especially considering he might get a crack at the starting job in 2007. It'll take a lot to pry him away from them.

Ugh, what a horrible turn of events for the guy. From the Q&A we had and from what I've read, he seemed like a really classy guy. I really wish nothing but the best for him in his recovery!

Um, one problem with that argument. The US suffers in the WBC because there are a number of rule changes that go against the US' strengths in basketball. The problem is, the NBA has been hell-bent on getting their name players and coaches in there. We saw this when Larry Brown was in Athens and completely botched everything by not playing his promising young players and sticking to a poor coaching plan. We saw this when a bunch of the me-first ballhogs and egomaniacs were selected to the teams (and continue to be, I'll add), which resulted in a number of no-look passes going flying into the fifth row and tons of low-percentage shots taken. It's an exhibition during the offseason to these guys; I don't think many of them take it seriously. The WBC isn't necessarily about talent. It's about putting together the best team to fit the rules. Unfortunately for the NBA, a number of their star players simply do not fit that mold. They do have a number of guys who are average/above average who would thrive in that environment, however. Unfortunately, those guys rarely get the nod thanks to jersey sales and ratings.

Postponed games, double headers, and off days have mucked that up sufficiently.

You also have to factor in medical technology, which has expanded by leaps and bounds in the past few decades. All of the guys who have undergone Tommy John Surgery would have had their careers ended if this were back in the old days. Now, while these advances are a boon for baseball, you also get a lot more guys in the mix who are more injury-prone, as it were. Guys whose bodies can't handle the strain as well as others now can extend their career by a number of years. Yet, they also will become injured again and again during that time because their body simply can't handle the stress on its own. Secondly, the average number of runs scored in a game has risen significantly since the last dead ball era. Whether it's because of steroids, the fact that the ball might be juiced, better hitters, or whatever, pitchers now have to throw a lot more pitches per inning than they did all those years ago. I wouldn't necessarily look at P/PA, but instead something more along the lines of P/IP. That should give a better idea of matters. Finally, two critical things have happened that should not be overlooked. The first one is the fact that the strike zone has contracted. It can be traced to both the way umps call the game and QuesTec, which has been MLB's way of evaluating those strike zone (uselessly, I'll add). Secondly, the mound has been lowered. This had a large effect on pitchers' mechanics, the downward plane of the pitch, and other important things. Also, cubbie, if K'ing were a sin in the old days, then this list shouldn't have as many HOFers from the 50s, 60s, and 70s than it does.

Not any more. :P

FYI, Q is the source I mentioned earlier.

My thing with the lineups regarding Yost was based on what I saw of him during my past four years at UW-Madison. Perhaps he has improved on that particular aspect of the game recently, but I remember him putting out some really strange lineups during that time. Sometimes, it had to do with the quality of players he had to work with, but a number of other times, it just didn't make sense. That said, I'd happily trade the Brewers' position players for the guys the Cubs have.

Considering he throws with his lefthand, he should receive plenty of employment during his time in the majors. He doesn't throw particularly hard, but teams are always looking for LOOGYs and left handed starters.

Paging Marty McFly and Dr. Brown. :D Hit the Quantum Leap music! Also, as well as the Braves have been doing, I'm convinced that Ned Yost is only a hair better than Dust-for-brains. His lineups, pitcher handling, and calling of the game (hit & runs, SBs, etc) leave much to be desired. However, he should get kudos for hiring Mike Maddux as his pitching coach.

Your guess would be correct. Something between .280-.310 is typically sustainable.

Rich Hill in Colorado? Hoo boy.

If we're talking overall ceiling, I have a hard time seeing Mark Pawelek not ranked #1 or #2. A lefty with that kind of stuff, poise, character, and so on can turn out to be incredible. Whether or not he reaches that ceiling is another matter altogether.
