Rickie Weeks was selected second overall in the 2003 amateur draft, and he had just about every tool a scout could possibly want. He could run, hit for power and average, throw, and catch. Weeks was the fifth rated prospect by Baseball America in 2004. He fell all the way to eighth in 2005.
Keston Hiura was ranked as the 47th overall prospect by Baseball America last year. He’s climbed all the way up to 17th overall this year.
Are the former prospect and the current prospect really that different?
