"The first Top 100 Prospect list was unveiled in 1990. Only once, in 2011, has a team placed three prospects in the Top 10—the Royals had Eric Hosmer (8), Mike Moustakas (9) and Wil Myers (10). Only five times has one team had two of the top five prospects."

 

Well, that made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

 

Let's hope our boys are more like the top of that list, Harper and Trout.

Yep, I was gonna say that that didn't work out terribly well for KC. Hosmer has been a disappointment, Moustakas is Olt-like and Wil Myers is on the 60 day DL with a wrist injury. Prior to that Myers has a career .268/.338/.432 MLB slash line in 141 career games.. Although he's just 23 years old and most people still think he's a huge stud. .

My biggest fear (and I know people roll their eyes and sign scornfully whenever I bring this up) is that Bryant and Baez both have Moustakas-like careers due to their K rates.  Although, I am as high as a kite right now on Soler and Schwarber.

I share the same fear for Baez. But as long as Bryant keeps his average up, his K rate doesn't bother me much.
