The Williams sisters got destroyed by the 700th ranked men's tennis players in the world. DESTROYED. They have no chance. Please do not compare men's and women's sports. I played tennis my entire life, including at a Big 10 school, and the difference between men and women in sports is not EVEN in the same universe. I would have to downsize my game 50% just so I could hit with them on a somewhat even basis. But of course you like to make statements that are twilight zone stuff. -
Also pretty wild that neither list includes the Dodgers, who seemed to be building the ultimate super team this offseason as they acquired the best player on the planet and one of the best available pitchers, etc while they already had one of the OTHER best players on the planet on their roster. -
Pretty cool that only one team is on both lists. The Os are legit and have been for a good while now.

BTW I would agree. I would not trade GH for JH. Not even close. -

That is a really good post. I agree with almost everything that you said. The only real issue is there have been lots of dads that have trained their sons to be elite in any particular sport. From tennis to golf to baseball. The main factor is if the dads do that AND the son is elite athletically. Obviously TIGER was. But for every 1 Tiger there are 1,000,000 no names. You have to have the elite athletic ability to carry you to the next level. And while I think JH is really good for his age, and a nice kid, I just don't see the athleticism in him that makes him the next super star. I saw wayyyyy, as in not even close, way more athleticism in Manny at the same age than I do JH. Gunnar as well. I hope I am wrong. But he reminds me more and more of an AI cyborg that was trained to do something much more than the average kid. And that gave him and advantage growing up. I don't see 'special'. -

If you got a live arm and two pitches you are pretty much ready for bullpen duty. They'd probably do it to HS kids if the value of a starter wasn't so much higher. -
