So we agree to disagree. I just don't think we can presume that these guys can come out of college and dominate at just ANY level minor league team for 9 innings. Takes nothing away from the quality of Lincecum or Miller, but their college level teams behind them would have to perform at the same level, IMO. Granted, I personally think the pitcher is the most important position on the field (obvious bias), but it takes 9 or 10 players to get the job done. So at some minor league levels, I would agree but I don't think the blanket 'ANY' applies.
But we can agree to disagree.
I agree with you. Good pitching can hide many flaws in a team and win championships. Look at some of the teams making it to the college world seires. UCI has had great outings from Gorgen and Etheridge. Without those guys Irvine is an average Team. With them, they might win the CWS. Theres no doubt that any Hi A team will be better position for position than any college team no matter what.
