Just because people have a different view of a prospect than you, doesn't mean they are married to some idea that you created in your head.

I don't have any particular view of Wotherspoon except that he has a lot of competition this year that was absent even a year ago. I still think he has a good shot at making the team very soon. I was hoping he'd make the jump last year. What I actually just said was that, if he hasn't been passed yet, he's in danger of having it happen this year. How is that untrue? Morrison has impressed people, as has Nakladl and Anderson. They could easily leapfrog him, just like prospects leapfrogged Sven.
Anyway, I didn't "create" anything - it's an observation of posters demanding a callup for Wotherspoon when management and the coaches on both teams didn't think it was warranted. So why were they asking for this? It can't be because he was obviously ready.
