I was just reminiscing, not intending to imply something different. I asked him last year (in one of the future 40 threads) why he didn't have RRS on the future 40 list since he was already on the team, and he said at that time he didn't think he had what it takes to be a major league pitcher. He has since said that RRS is a legitimate number 5 starter, so I know he changed his mind. I know Dave changed his mind. I was just reminiscing, not intending to imply something different.

If someone has a huge hole in their swing and you say "Bob's going to have trouble hitting major league fastballs" without saying "right now if he were promoted and nothing changed" and then over the next two seasons he shortens his swing a lot and starts mashing those pitches, throwing that original fastball quote out as evidence someone was wrong substantially misrepresents the complexity of your ongoing observation.

I almost was in attendance for his 300th. Horton was sitting on 299 and crushed one in the Kingdome but it hit a speaker. Ahh for the pre-juice days when 300 meant something.
