That's fine,and I agree that the organization is probably fine with Rattie's development, but that really is beside the point that I was addressing, and that is the well worn notion among a number of observers that Rattie is some sort of über prospect following his impressive returns from last season. I agree that he is a good second round pick, but by the way he was being talked up in some circles, one would be forgiven for believing that he was the steal of the 2010 draft. He likely was not, and I believe that his solid but unspectacular start to the season is evidence for that.
I don't think that it is at all uncontroversial to suggest that Rattie's likely misses Baertschi a great deal this year.
