There is a joke there about him not being old enough for your mom, but that might be taken the wrong way.
Really, you could replace Baertschi's name with any highly hyped prospect who has not yet managed to step up and play to his potential. The same criticism will be leveled at all of our prospects who take a couple steps backwards and are potentially being usurped by other prospects. If Knight or Ramage don't step up this season, or a Wotherspoon or Granlund fall back, they will get the same level of skepticism focused on them and their future as well. Only so many kicks at the can. Baertschi just happens to be one of our few prospects who we expected to make the team by now and has gone retrograde. More to come in the future. That's part of the game.
