Prospects are designed to be overhyped so you can bring in guys like the NL Cy Young winner.
How many years did we listen to people talking about Brett Cecil as though he was some ace in waiting? Major league reliable players are worth so much more than 'potential'. Potential gets you those more reliable players because it's easy to let one' imagination run away with just how great that potential is. See Drabek, Kyle.
Hope the deal goes through, and hope an extension is forthcoming. Gonna be real nice to see a bonafide dealing knuckleballer out there every five days mowing fools down.
