It happens every year. Something weird occurs to your players over the winter months. I know Mack has mentioned that some of his prospects don't look so good now and I'm sure there are others.
So who surprised you? Tell your stories.
My first one is Bruno Talamantez. An 18 year old starting pitcher for me he's listed as the #1 prospect in the game. Great. But my scout thinks he's 2.5 stars now, tops. However, he obviously WORKED over the winter as he is now sporting SIX pitches in his repertoire. Fastball, Sinker, Splitter, Slider, Changeup, and Cutter. By contrast...
Villatoro has four pitches
Cohen has four
Hester has four
Seems excessive.
But what's YOUR surprise so far?
All of the previously-rated 4-star prospects I got that were in Seattle's system (two via trade, one via the Rule V draft, and one via free agency) are now 1-star guys.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Mack.
My Scout still has Talamantez at 4 stars potential. I am very interested to see how he is going to do this season.
ReplyDeleteAs for my team it is pretty much, no one seems to have progressed or regressed on my team. except for some AAA MR who seem to have dropped a bit, but they are MR, and with Junior now a Steamer, I need less of them :)
