Whos this years MEGA FLOP top prospect?

011873 · Feb 13, 2010

A few customers and I were thinking of which mega hyped prospect we think will have a bad season.

By mega hyped I mean top 20 or so. From the guys Ive questioned, most feel Chapman will not do well this year with other votes going to Stanton, Ackley, Posey and Matusz.

And you all?

Im going with Mike Stanton.

People are going to hate me but im going to have to say Desmond Jennings.

I don't see how Posey can be a flop. He had time up last year and didn't do that bad. For what he's projected to be, a great defensive catcher that will hit for average and not power I just don't see him busting. To me Chapman has El Duke writen all over him. Whether or not you consider El Duke a bust is up to you.

~~ What are you doing? Are you begging for another Lars Anderson or Greg Halman? I mean just keep your fingers crossed and mouth shut! Please. Whoever you mention will probably do fine and your investments drop off the map. ~~

not a prospect anymore but I don't think Hanson will translate to what people expect. I feel he has a 4.00+ era year

My guess would be Brett Wallace.

Hope to god it isn't morrison and Jennings LOL.

Stanton has a lot of room for epic fail. He'll always bounce back, but there could be teh fail.

Brett Keith · Feb 13, 2010

I honestly don't see any of the true top prospects having a season that would be bad enough to get them tagged as a "flop", barring injury. I could certainly see Chapman struggling, atleast for part of the season, especially if he gets pushed to AA immediately. I've expressed my doubts/concerns about Bumgarner and could see more of his luster coming off if he starts off in the big league rotation and his velo hasn't come back up and his secondary stuff hasn't improved.

I won't be wishing, or predicting failure for any prospect.

+1. May all of the top prospects feast off of the career minor leaguers. No more Moustakas, Anderson, or Hosmer years please.

I have so much faith in his bat it's silly. I don't see how he hits under .280.

jjj7880 · Feb 13, 2010

Mike Stanton

mwashuc06 · Feb 13, 2010

Alvarez,people don't realize that he had a .400 BABIP in AA last year. Alvarez will be struggling to get out of the .250 range and I don't think he'll have as much pop this year.

Codasco07 · Feb 13, 2010

Stanton.

Montero.

It's going to be tough to live up to the hype.
