George Valera’s prospect career has been a bit of a rollercoaster, at least for me personally. At first, he was seen as by a lot of fans as the best outfield prospect since Manny, and a future superstar. FanGraphs had given him a 70 grade hit tool before he even reached A ball, and the power was very evident in both the grainy, yet exciting videos, and the box scores. I know you all remember this video.
