[QUOTE="Squints, post: 140115, member: 822"] Well first off, the talent gap isn't always as large as you think. A few years ago they reduced the amount of scholarships you could give for baseball and that led to the talent being more spread out among schools. Second, baseball is a fluky game and you fail more often than you succeed. Sometimes even against a bad pitcher you just don't get the hits. Thirdly, they changed the bats right around the time you started watching which totally sapped offense out of the game. They started using a new ball this year which appears to have alleviated that somewhat. And finally I think your expectations are totally out of whack. We've averaged 9 runs a game vs the mid majors so far this year. That's great. Nine runs should be enough to win you any game easily. And expecting to consistently score more than that, let alone 30 runs, is setting yourself up for disappointment. It just doesn't happen. Generally you get this info from web sites that follow this kind of stuff like Baseball America. They keep a running list of the top draft prospects and take will mention the professional chances of players in game write-ups and Q&A sessions. Other people like Keith Law will comment every once in a while. Just gotta keep an eye out for it. [/QUOTE]
