I’m no David Lee. I’m no JJ Cooper. I’m really not anyone other than a dude that runs a Braves blog and watches a lot of baseball. However, every year when MLB releases their Top-30 prospects list, I cannot help but shake my head. It just feels…safe. Never have I looked at their list and left surprised and/or intrigued that they’ve taken a risk on a player with high upside over someone that “could” be a Major Leaguer.
This year was no different. Truthfully, I think that prospect lists should’ve been put on halt for the 2020 season, as no one really knew what work was or wasn’t going on behind the scenes.
