I'm not quite sure where Joe A gets his knowledge from...perhaps from years on the bench. Any way, I'm just trying to say:

Since you bring up basketball, Michel Jordan was big and fast. He stole a lot of bases when he got on base. Truely a great athlete, but in the minor leagues he just couldn't hit the ball. And the reason scouts gave to explain his failure? They said he did not have the ability to "throw the bat at the ball".Don't want to start something here, just pointing out some facts.
