1.  Very possible that my opinion of Tui *the prospect* was off track.
2.  G, if we're going to debate this perpetually, you gotta get it straight why I liked him so much, dude.  :- )
a) *Roger Jongewaard,* the best talent scout I've ever spectated and the only man on earth who knew who Ichiro was, thought Tui was a once-in-a-decade talent.
That's a lot different than taking Lee P's word for it.  This was the equivalent of hearing Pat Gillick say "Esteilon Peguero is better at his age than ARod."  Yes I would sit up.
b) Tui hit with power the other way, slowing the game down.  The template is one I'm very partial to.
c) Tui's makeup.

I'm inconsistent about a lot of things, but not this one.  I value scouts' opinions in context; Tui's resume was a flier.
