++ But, I also "think" there is a trend in these guys to show improved production as they go UP in levels. The sabr-loved prospects tend to destroy low ball, and gradually lose ground as they rise through the system. ++

We fans with math backgrounds but not much baseball background ... we just have to get it through our heads that there is a blue set of goggles and a red set of goggles.
The red set, looks at a player in terms of his sheer physical gifts. Some baseball men can visualize the future outcome, after pitch recognition, like visualizing a Bansai tree.
There's nothing wrong with having a blue set and a red set. Those of us with blue goggles just need to understand how good some people are with that red set.

And, of course, you HAVE to use the red set, when you're talking about high school players, and people like Tuiasosopo.
It was painful :- ) watching people use the blue set on the 20-year-old Tui. "He's never shown homers yet! How can you expect him to ever hit any?" As he grew from a LB-agile 200 to 210 to 220 to 230.
