Ah, the promise of youth. When you're young, your whole future is in front of you, the world is your oyster.

It's why general managers have taken to hoarding young prospects like that guy with the four-inch fingernails who lives down the street and has a house filled with used cardboard paper roll dispensers and TV Guides. During this year's trade deadline, the Dodgers steadfastly refused to trade any of their top prospects for a starting pitcher like Cole Hamels or David Price because they loved the promise of their young players.
