Why I Hate Prospect Lists
Tuesday, January 8, 2008by Geoff Young
Like Jayne Cobb's hat, they make me look like an idiot. Here's my list from 2003:
honorable mention
11-20
1-10
A few lowlights:
#18: Mike Nicolas
In 2003, Nicolas likely will serve again as Rusty Tucker's primary setup man, this time at Double-A. He already has the ability to put the ball past hitters; if he keeps his walk totals down, he could be another Felix Rodriguez.
Or not.
#15: Ben Johnson
If he can learn to use his strength, Johnson still could turn into another Brian Jordan. But I don't like his chances now as much as I did at this time last year.
Hey, he landed us Heath Bell. All is forgiven.
#14: Cory Stewart
Although he doesn't have the pedigree ...
