Evidently batters have it. More and more you hear about the desire to have pitchers "throw downhill." You used to never hear that. Now it is a scouting mantra. Tall guys are in! Sometime in the future the new "Moneyball" will tell about how B. Beane had success by finding the undervalued short pitcher.
Beane will probably find the future Ron Guidry or Pedro Martinez or Fernando Valenzuela or Dave McNally.....all who will be written off because they were only 5'11!
moe (standing tall at 5'8 1/2!) (Well OK....5'8 1/4! But that is as low as I will go!)
