Us being in discussion mode, rather than controlled-study mode, there will be 85 things we're missing... for example, we could easily just be prone to notice the RBI guys...
Edgar I'm sure we could agree wasn't a late bloomer - just an opportunity guy. Morse is a great example of the point you make; he showed flashes early on and performance pretty early. Lahair, hmmmm... isn't it true that every eventual major leaguer has decent production in the minors? Not sure whether Lahair would have slugged .500 at 26... still, it's a gray area...
I think what we're talking abou tis that Raul shouldn't really be hitting .216/.301/.363 at age 26 in the minors. If the Rainiers have a 26-year-old doing that, don't you cut him?
