I wasn't trying to be a douche.
1. Scarey was certainly implying that Vitter's plate discipline had improved, and I was merely pointing out that a .250 on-base % isn't exactly a roaring endorsement of said theory.
2. Jason Heyward was drafted 14th that year, not 12th. Scouts (according to an SI article) knew he was sublime, but the reason he fell so low was that he was considered to have too MUCH plate discipline.
3. Perhaps we should err on the side of too much instead of too little, eh?

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
