Sometimes you guys just set the bar way to high...not everybody is going to be Alex Rodgriguez...and you don't have to equal his acheivments in order to be an excellant major league player. 

That wasn't my point Sens. ACTAvation got the drift of my post here:

It's really not.  He's making the point that if Marrero really is supposed to be "special" then he shouldn't be struggling so much at A-ball whereas truly special talents can often thrive in the big leagues at the same age.

I also recall that at one point last season it was reported that Marrero had accomplished something in A ball that had not been done since A-Rod and I recall people jumping all over that stat and thinking how special it was to have a guy of this caliber in our system. Why is it so easy to grasp that tidbit but it is frowned upon when it is pointed out that 'special' players like A-Rod are in the majors by the time they are Marrero's age?
