[QUOTE="chrisarrow222, post: 2582109, member: 574888"] I get your point but everthing has to be put into perspective...and you are over generalising, you mentioned Boggs, how about some other examples? Last year we (Brewers) called up two, 24 yo rookies. Lorenzo Cain and Jonathan Lucroy...Cain got hot immediately, hitting .306 in 45 games. While Lucroy hit a modest .253...but hit 5 HR's. Currently Cain is still in AAA, now with the Royals...while Lucroy is now our starting catcher. So every case is different. A rookie eg...Crawford with the Giants hit a Grand Slam in his first game...but barely has a hit since. EDIT: Whoops, Crawford had another game winner last night. He's actually hitting .333, replacing Miguel Tejada...so he's a good example of what you said originally. [/QUOTE]
