I would suspect that its a little easier to have that "look" of confidence when you're 18, fresh out of high school, and the best in the country.

It's much harder to keep it day in and day out when dealing with the setbacks, injuries, demotions, slumps, etc. that are sure to come. Any player on any given day can loose the "look" of confidence. The best players are the ones that find it again and again after each obstacle they face, believing they are still doing what they were put on this earth to do.

IMHO the goal isn't to be an above average major leaguer, but rather to do the best you can with the hand you're dealt. Success shouldn't be measured by where you end up, but rather by what you've overcome to get to where you end up.
