Usually, my point is really that there are a lot of those guys pitching in the pros today, and there’s so much more to it than that

The Bucs promoted all their dominant latin hitters past ss-a and straight to low a or State College would have a dominant offense and Heredia and Clay Holmes this year. I am guessing it is just cyclical but part of it is how we push our kids through the minors.

Yeah I was thinking that myself. It seems like there a thin line between a lot of these guys. Is it just a matter of comparing the talent level they’ve played at and the numbers that they’ve had?

It seems like the Pirates scout the BigTen especially well, or maybe that’s an illusion.

Tim, the write up you gave Josh Smith is not an organizational player write up, what makes him an organizational player if he has the pitching tools that you described?
