Re: Baseball America feature on Joey Votto

Could it be because Joey's current OBP is not .379, but .299?? Could it be the 3 homers in 30 ABs, since he now has 4 homers in 80 ABs? Why would someone follow the example of Crozier, Machado, and Perez? These 3 are OPSing .643, .559, and .520 respectively in AA! And then there's Womack, ugh! If you're in big league camp with Dunn and Griffey, why look to Womack? It's not like Womack's playing style is even remotely like Joey's ... Well, hopefully Joey will turn into a viable big leaguer in spite of his misguided examples.
