[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 139738, member: 322"] I'm not experienced (@College Baseball) but here goes: 1. Mid-week games scoring. I don't know the stats for mid week games versus weekend games. I would agree that "most" teams during the regular part of conference play season put their 4th person in rotation or it's a staff day. So you would expect during the conference play season for what you say to be true. In the pre-season type non-conference play, I think teams are more likely to "tune" up their ace pitchers like Auburn did against us. Although it would not affect statistics as a whole, I think that the quality of opponent makes a difference. The better the opponent for a mid week game, the better the pitcher you put in if you have the luxury. But there isn't that much leeway once you get into the regular season since coaches/pitchers like consistent starts. My immediate thoughts, I'll poke around the stats during the game tonight. 2. You know you have a good player when you see him play. There are oddles of scouts out there and the draft as well as Perfect Game/ other scouting services which [B]should be[/B] the best indication of how a player is doing in HS. Two cases I can think of: [LIST] [*]A player is drafted and you can look at his draft sheet before college and subsequent performance in the pros. [LIST] [*]My absolute favorite data base for the draft is [URL]http://www.thebaseballcube.com/draft/research.asp?Y1=&Y2=&R=&RS==&Ov=&Ovs==&T=&Player=&School=Georgia%20tech&Pos=&HL=&Region=&P=June-Reg&CT=&Bonus=0&Signed=&Active=&Source=&Bats=&Throws=&Sort=[/URL] [*]This link goes to GT, but you can change the selections and go to any team. [*]Look at Buck, he wasn't drafted out of HS but was as a Jr (485) and then as a Sr (156). He developed. [*]Look at Teixeira, Blackmon and Weiters, also not drafted out of HS. [*]Generally if they are drafted in the first two to four rounds, they have high potential to be a [I]star on a college team[/I]. But most of those players go to the MLB (minors) I think without going to college. (There are so many players and so few MLB spots that being a star on a MLB team is no where near preordained.) [*]But I'd guess that for the vast majority of players, [B]you just don't know until you know. (Yogism) [/B] Either they can develop or not. Or be highly ranked and get hurt like Smelter.
