Understand your point but I was specifically addressing this comment by Walawala:
quote:Im sayin with a legitament guy like miller or lincecum, who have already pitched in the big leagues less than a year after their draft, could easily shut out any minor league for 9 innings with their best performance.
Lincecum has already dominated Big League teams. Miller has had some success as well.
I may have misunderstood what he/she meant by 'easily shut out ... for 9 innings' because I saw the word dominate when discussing Lincecum, and thought the implication was that a team with such a pitcher could dominate any minor league team. Mea culpa if I misunderstood.
I believe infieldad has expressed it well in terms of competing over the long haul of a minor league season, which is just what Mr FB.M expressed last night at dinner when I told him about this discussion ... perhaps on a given day but not over the long season.
infieldad ...
Ref bbscout ... you might well be right about the rolling eyes.
