Yesterday the Rangers designated former Cardinal first round pick, top 100 ranked prospect and Atlanta Braves top 20 prospect Tyrell Jenkins for assignment. This serves to remind us again that until they actually make it to the majors and stick around, prospects are just suspects.
From Atlanta Braves steal to looking for a deal
Selected by the Cardinals in the first compensation round of the 2010 draft (50th overall) Jenkins moved quickly in their system. Prior to the 2012 season Baseball America ranked him the #94 prospect in baseball. He slipped off the BA ranks for 2013 but Baseball Prospectus slotted him in at #94 in their list.
