I guess I'm just looking for someone to placate my fear that we move up for him and he disappoints. The good news is I usually get prospect projections completely wrong.

Fans overrate prospects
every year.
But there is little reason to think the scouts have.
However, there is a risk with every prospect that they won't continue on the development curve that they have been on up to this point.
