Where was Joey Votto in Milb.coms top 60?

Where was Joey Votto in the milb.com top 60 prospects? I am sure you asked the question, I know I did. So I decided to go to the source. Today Jonathon Mayo was on Around the Minors like he is every Tuesday and I sent him an email asking just that, where was Joey Votto? It was one of the first questions that he addressed, because apparently I was not the only one wondering what had happened. His answer was simple, and I am now paraphrasing, 'I think a lot of people would like to see him duplicate his 2006. His 2005 was not so good and seeing him duplicate his 2006 would be good in some peoples eyes.'

Well, since it was just an email I couldn't respond back to Mayo. Here is what I would have said if it were the case.

Maybe you know, maybe you don't, but in 2005 the Reds made Joey take the first pitch of nearly every at bat. When pitchers know this, you are going to start off the at bat down 0-1 nearly every at bat. When you are down 0-1, good luck getting a pitch to drive and put a good swing on. But if you want replication of 2006, take a peak back at 2004. Votto had no restrictions on his plate approach and look at what he did.

Now compared with his 2006 season, was 2005 or 2006 the out of the ordinary year?
