Obviously shouldn't be an "experiment" (Kopech either) 5-6 years into their major league careers when they were both consensus top prospects with almost EVERYONE in the entire scouting industry.

Scouting is not an exact science.

So few prospects actually succeed. That why you can get burned trading a major leaguer with years of control left for a minor league pitcher.

Yeah, even with those MiLB Top 50-100 lists you're only looking at a 10-15% "hit rate" in terms of producing "above average or replacement-level" players...especially after you get past the Top 10-15 guys.
