Prospect Season - 2016/17

[ashie62]

This came out today in SL and is a pretty complete update on many names in the system.

I wasn't really aware how highly ranked SP Justin Dunn is.

The downside to prospects ... sometimes they don't turn out to be what you think they're going to.

So after coming out with their mid-season Top-50 list, BP goes back in time and does their Top-50 All-Time Bust List from the 'draft era' of MLB
They admit up front that such a list is far from complete and that those listed were necessarily the worst players as some -- Gregg Jefferies -- went on to have nice careers, but rather they're trying
to identify the gap between the final payoff as compared to what the hype was at the time and maybe figure out where it all went wrong.

There are four NYMs in there. Well five really, but one kind of has an asterisk attached. On the other hand, four of the top (meaning worst) five were MFY prospects.
And to think, it was just yesterday when I was talking about the Michael Pineda/Jesus Montero deal.
