Moreover, the argument itself doesn't work. If a guy is dominating A ball, that doesn't mean he's going to be a great major leaguer. If a guy is getting his ass kicked in A ball, it means he won't be.
This is an argument that can absolutely be made to ratchet only a single direction. If a person is terrible against bad competition, that sure as hell says something about their ability to be great against good competition. If a person is great against bad competition, that doesn't say that much about their ability to be great against good competition.
This is pretty straightforward.

I totally agree. I'm just speaking to the game to game overreaction/hypocrisy.
The truth is we've learned nothing new about Ball, and won't until we see him for a few seasons against the best of the best.
