What about Alex Rodriguez, Joe Mauer, and David Price? All 3 of them were selected 1st overall and they have all had very successful careers, they were also considered cant miss prospects.
What about Matt Bush, Delmon Young, and Luke Hochevar? All 3 of them were selected 1st overall and have all had very underwhelming careers, they were also considered can't miss prospects.
Yea, those were prospects that missed. But you didnt answer my question, my 3 were considered by many to be sure fire prospects and they achieved the level of hype and potential that they received.
I already answered that when I talked about Strasburg. They were elite prospects who panned out.
Maybe I termed it incorrectly or maybe I didnt explain myself that well. When I saw David Price pitch and see that he was going to be selected 1st overall by the Rays, I said to myself this guy is going to be a great pitcher in the league and achieve all his potential, the same with Kershaw when I saw him pitch a couple of games. In my mind I felt that there was no way that they wouldnt be great.
And people who are a lot more knowledgeable about the game of baseball than you and I are felt the same way about Luke Hochevar, Delmon Young, and Matt Bush.
