And Saltalamachia is average at best. But I agree with the original post, Teagarden and Salty were super high rated prospects that never lived up to the hype.

Managers don’t usually recommend which amateur prospects should be drafted to the best of my knowledge, contrary to the presumption at the end of Aaron’s post.

Miclat could be the PTBNL, he isn’t currently on the 40 man. Second base with limited offensive ability but top notch base stealer.

If Buck can whistle and do a soft-shoe for 15 seconds Teagarden is his.
