My prospect profiles usually fall into two sometimes unevenly split halves. One discusses the player. The other half provides the inspiration for the article. As much as I want to inform you of the player’s history, I am somewhat muted in wanting to prognosticate his future, which hasn’t been written yet. Sometimes, a player ended his season on a hot streak, or in a bitter slump. Guessing whether the one or the other is indicative of the future, necessarily, is beyond my realm of knowledge. However, something in their past, or presumed future, segues into a bigger story that applies, whether success looms, or not.
