Sickles on Kotchman
It's like opining presents on Christmas morning. You go to ESPN.com to check up on the headlines, and there it is: Down on the Farm: Casey Kotchman. You wait, and you wait, and then John Sickles, or Peter Gammons, or Rob Neyer comes through with an article your favorite club. It's a great feeling...
Anyway, Sickles comes to the same conclusion as everyone else- Kotchman can flat out hit (though I don't necessarily agree with his assessment that Kotchman won't be a homerun threat), and the only concern is his health. While it is true that Casey has missed almost half of his pro career with various injuries, they have been freak injuries and not (in my opinion) reason to be too overly concerned.
This kid is a stud. I would fully expect Kotchman to be the starting first baseman by the middle of next season.
