James was not actually just talking about great minor leaguers. He was making a MUCH broader claim about all prospects. If he was talking about a specific group of uber-prospects, then he failed to convey it and it made him sound more confident than he should have sounded, but I got this message from it "I do projections for minor leaguers, They are awesome. That is all the proof I need that my way of thinking - that minor league stats are every bit as predictive as major league stats - is right...and the fact that anyone would dare question me on that suggests they are either stupid, willfully ignorant, or just darned stubborn."
If he'd said what you actually said, there would be no controversy for me...I would still disagree pending the results of the survey I proposed earlier in this thread (which is essentially the same as the one you propose). But he didn't say what you say he said...he said something much more broad and far less humble.
