Don't get me wrong, I am not disagreeing that height is a good thing in a first baseman, just that, like left-handed shortstops, when it becomes dogma, it is not so useful of an idea.....
Why is a shorter guy automatically more agile? That's not a fact. But it is a fact that a 6-foot-4 guy is going to have a longer reach than a 5-foot-10 guy.
