I've been reading Stark for a long time, since he was a local Philly guy, and I trust his baseball acumen. I think he's right on in this case. I'm not rooting against Barry, but he's got a long way to go. Too far, in fact.
I don't really want him to succeed either. He's a cocky/arrogant guy and I don't support players that are really good, but have to go around flaunting it to the world.
