Blasphemous Talk: Did You Ever Wonder Why......

promising young Yankee pitchers with great stuff lack baseball smarts. Now I know Joba came through for a change last night, but how many times has he seemed to lack that mental rigor to outsmart major league hitters in tough situations? The same it seems to go for young Nova. Are these guys not too bright or is it that we're not teaching them well? And, as much as we deride the Sox, look how well they've developed young position players to successfully make that giant leap from triple a to the "show." We have our Jesus, but where did guys like Reddick, McDonald, Anderson, Lowrie, Nava and Kalish come from in their organization? We often win minor league championships with older players who will never make the majors or with vet cast-offs from other teams.
