Could be a good few years for 101. I’m just happy you are predicting All star / HOF careers for Andrus and Barton typres. Could be a good few years for 101.

Guys who are 19, spend an entire season in AA, and post +772 OPS's are considered to be elite level, superbly talented, really freakin good baseball players. Burroughs (#6) and Delmon (#1) are just two examples. While one has gone AWOL and the other is still trying to take a walk, that doesn't remove the fact that both were considered top of the food chain good after their 19-year-old seasons in AA. Both you and KG seem to be the outliers in your subjective evaluation of prospects: KG - 42 (GH) vs 44 (FM) KLaw - 93 (GH) vs 16 (FM) MILB - NR (GH) vs 32 (FM) Scouting Book - 84 (GH) vs 21 (FM) Deric McKamey - NR (GH) vs 49 (FM) I didn’t realize I needed to literally spell it out for you.

Not exactly 'filled with HOF'ers and All Stars' My ultimate point is that Halman and F-Mart are comparable players. So I disagree with your sarcastic response of "Next" in reference to Halman over F-mart. You made my point thank you. Not exactly ‘filled with HOF’ers and All Stars’

My ultimate point is that Halman and F-Mart are comparable players. So I disagree with your sarcastic response of “Next” in reference to Halman over F-mart.

Joel Guzman - Played 46 games in AA, about 1/3rd of his total games and was ranked the #5 prospect in baseball by BA after that season. Daric Barton - Played 56 games in AA, less than 1/2 a season and was ranked #26 by BA at the conclusion. Both Burroughs and Young played full seasons in AA as 19-year-olds, and both were considered the top prospects in baseball. Burroughs #6 overall, and Delmon #1 according to BA. So as someone would say, "you're making my point." C’mon 101, you’re better than that.

By your standards, you'd take Josh Reddick (lifetime 892 OPS) over Andrew McCutchen (lifetime 770 OPS) because he has better "results" to date. I'm finding out for the first time that 101 doesn't think age/league is relevant in a prospect discussion. By the way, in Fmart's first shot at A ball as a 17-year-old, his results were better than Halman's first shot at A ball, you may want to look that one up. So 772 is only "fine" for a 19-year-old in AA? Can you please list for me the other 19-year-old's who posted >772 OPS in AA last year, or any year for that matter. I'm guessing it's a short list, and most likely it's filled with names of All-Stars and future HOF'ers. Also, I love the "repeated level" jab, as if that's relevant. Yes, it's true, he played both his 18 and 19 year old seasons in AA, when most prospects are either freshmen in college or in RK or A ball. You’re comparing apples to oranges.
