I really do not see what you have to lose by asking a simple question. Maybe you'll get your answer and maybe you won't, but rest assured you DEFINITELY will not get one if you don't ask.

Chris Withrow
Basically the argument for Withrow is that you just know, barring injury, he is going to breakout as a top pitching prospect due to the Logan White first round pitcher status.
from the chat on Withrow.....
Q: Ryan from Los Angeles , CA asks:
"I'm very surprised Withrow didn't make the top 20."
A: Chris Kline:
"Yeah ... nine innings just isn't going to get it done though. I was
disappointed I didn't get to write him up, especially after he sat 92-94
mph with his fastball in the playoffs and lit up 98 several times."

Question?
I guess the first round picks have to get a cup of coffee, but I would be shocked in even 5 of these guys did anything at the ML level.

5 wouldn't be shocking
the way i see it, the complex leagues are a nice place for guys to start getting noticed for their tools. (mostly HS draftees and latin american kids, since college guys have already been scouted for their tools, and they often get skipped over these leagues anyway.) if a guy gets noticed in the complex leagues, he's on my radar screen. and if he then goes out and has some success in A ball, i start to think about putting him on top 100 lists.
just because these guys are a million miles from the majors doesn't mean they won't make it. what it does mean is that we have only a cloudy idea of which ones will make it.

Good year
Also, that was a good point about a lot of guys not even on the top prospect list can hit the big time, since it's so difficult to predict from this early age.

Jairo Heredia
"He just reminds me of Pedro Martinez when I was with the Dodgers in '93," Reed said. "You see the frame and wonder where it all comes from. This guy is the same way."
