bbscout,
If they haven't played each other you can't really compare them. It is merely conjecture just like we're doing, although as usual I'll admit you are far more qualified to make that comparison and I wouldn't bet anything I couldn't afford to lose against you. It is still fun to discuss it.
I went through several players on the Yakima Bears roster for this past season as they were a team I knew to be a short season A team. Generally speaking there were no players straight out of HS so my argument on that doesn't apply at all. My bad.
I also noted that the majority of the players who I looked at on that team were drafted in the 20th or 30th round or even later. The older players on the team looked to be players who had not done that well and were trying to come back from an injury with limited success. To be honest on paper the talent level wasn't as good as what you'd expect from a good D1 team and if the other teams in the league are equivalent then it is no surprise that a good pitcher from a good D1 such as AJ came directly from school and dominated that league when he went through there.
