Sorry Taro...but you're just failing to understand Doc's point...and mine.  The league quality in AAA is not the EXCLUSIVE cause for the adjustment period for AAA hitters to the big leagues.  There are other reasons for the adjustment.  New pitchers...new coaches, new parks, and a huge jump in pressure...none of those things have anything to do with the quality of players in AAA.  Dustin Pedroia, for example, hit .186 for a month when he first got called up...are you going to try to tell me that Pedroia sucked for a month because he was an inferior player and then was awesome afterward because he improved suddenly?  Sorry...no sale.
