Pat then went on a tear, gained his stars back, and went on to a .368/.477/.533 season.

Hopefully you won't have to explain the sudden demise of a young star, although I'm sure you'd make the story a great read.
Hey Big Six, actually both dropped, though honestly I hadn't realized what the stars measured until I read your comments. I still think he's got pretty good stuff, though we'll find out when he hits the field for the 2002 season. I've got a few story lines developing in my head if Big Z's playing career turns south...
