44, I'm a little offended by your sarcasm. No one said anyone gets a free pass for any reason! I have heard it stated numerous times that small guys can make it - they just have to stand out that much more. I have read numerous profiles on PG for a kid 6'3", that he has a "projectible frame". Never read that for a small guy.

I really don't think you can deny that kids that are taller are classified as more "projectable". I'm not saying that all you need is height. If you have two kids of equal talent, the taller kid will get the nod. Am I wrong? If I am totally off base that in if all else is equal, the taller kids get picked, tell me and I'll not say another word about it.

And I am talking more about higher level DI and MLB. I know that any D3 or JUCO will take a kid throwing 88-90 regardless of his height. I just don't think you can deny that taller players are considered more "projectable".

Come on 44. No call for that kind of attitude.
