Earlier this week, the Angels announced that they had designated Scott Kingery for assignment. The former Phillies top prospect was fighting to make LA’s roster but had a rough spring, slashing .138/.257/.172 with 11 Ks in 29 at bats. This post isn’t meant to be a retelling of the Kingery tale (that post will come out later today) but rather using Kingery as a springboard into a wider topic of discussion.
Every baseball fan has a prospect crush. The guy you religiously follow after you hear about him and convince yourself he will be everything he could be.
