You want to talk about a sport with over blown stats-college baseball. You take most of these guys and put them in low A ball with a wooden bat and they wouldn’t hit .150.

A lot of these kids hit with wood on the Cape. Recent examples include Jake Schaffner, Kent Schmidt, Drew Burress, Jarren Advincula, Will Baker.

Let's take Advincula for example. After his freshman year at Cal he won the Cape League batting title as he hit .392 with a wooden bat in 38 games and 130 at bats. On July 15 that summer it was .404. The next summer his numbers were slightly down again with the Cape, if down was .360 with wood bats (it wasn't, he led the best college summer league). He would've taken the batting title home again (the player who won, Aidan Robbins, is now crushing baseballs down in Austin, TX, his batting title number was .307), if he didn't leave early to journey down to Atlanta.

That’s the definition of a MIC DROP, people…

You’re talking about a small percentage of players. Does GT have anyone in their lineup batting under ,320?
