Cameron Maybin. He was supposed to be the Marlins' everyday centerfielder this year, but he couldn't hit and got sent down to AAA where he pushed an ump.

At least he's hitting well in AAA. I think we will see him in Miami soon, as the other Marlins outfielders aren't exactly tearing it up either.

Although he may not be considered a "prospect" any longer, Alex Gordon, has, to this point, been very disappointing. I think he needed some extra time in the farm system to develop prior to his call-up. He has struggled.

Billy Rowell, Matt Dominguez, Lars Anderson and Heyward has been hurt ::facepalm:: .

Makes me want to stick to prospecting pitchers.

Phil Hughes,

I still think Hughes can be a #2 starter, maybe not on the yanks though. The dumb yankees administration rushed him up, didn't give him enough time, he's battled injuries so you have to give the kid time.

Hughes should be where Joba is now, even though Hughes is doing well in the bullpen. Joba should be in the bullpen and eventually be the future closer

Heyward has played just fine so far. I might consider him the best overall prospect in the minor leagues right now. If not 1, still top 5. No need to hit the panic button on him yet.

All of them :(

McCardell- 7-5 in High A 4.32 ERA, and can't keep the ball in the ballpark.

Raynor- .255 avg, 3 HR, and 8 SB. Strikeouts are still high, and every game seems like a 0-4, 1-4, 0-5, or 1-5 outing.

Rollins- 6-6, 3.90 ERA, low HR total, but just got sent to Class A short season.

Hill- .255, 11 HR, Started rather hot, but has cooled off of late.

So far not so good, but that's what I get for prospecting low-end guys.

Michael Main, although he is still ridiculously young and has plenty of time to develop. I think the bar was set a little too high for him this season...
Finally someone said him, took a long time, figured he'd be in the 2nd or 3rd post.

Wes Hodges, missed over a month with a wrist injury after a decent spring training. Even before he got hurt he wasnt putting up good numbers. I hope he turns it around.

Not THE most disappointing, but my most disappointing would be Burgess. Might toss Cedric Hunter in there as well.

Are you serious.

You are hilarious. Hughes has appeared in seven games out of the bullpen this season. Over 12 innings he has allowed two runs on five hits with three walks and 15 strikeouts. Opponents are hitting .122 against him. That is dominating. Obviously everyone expects him to be a starter which he will EVENTUALLY become. He is on an innings limit and there is not much room in the rotation for him so what is wrong with the bullpen.

How can you say Phil Hughes is "disappointing" because he is pitching out of the bullpen?

Oh yea, you also just missed his TWENTY THIRD birthday 5 days ago..

He is FAR from disappointing in my eyes, he is just growing in the bullpen to eventually become a front-line starter.

You can't be too dissapointed, or atleast I am not. You kinda had to expect him to get knocked around a bit, considering he is in the CAL League. He is turning it around as of late.....Last 2 Starts 14 1/3 Innings pitched, 2 Wins, and only giving up 1 ER total.

On a side note, I do have a few of his cards.

As a prospector the bullpen is like a kick in the nuts...

But the bullpen is not a permanent destination and it is not like he is preforming poorly in it. I guess I am looking at it as a "fan".. Sorry
