You have got to love the numbers on the prospects. Pitchers are consitant 93-95 and touching 97. Then they get drafted and are 90. This is just like football where everyone is a 4.3 40 time and 4.6 when actually measured by the pros. Don't get me wrong, I hope we get a stud but it is such a crap shoot. The recent articles on previous drafts really show how much injury luck factors into the results. Rauch was a can't miss and now may be done as an example.

Hasnt Rauch done pretty well with the Nationals, anyways thats different he was a top prospect until his injury, injuries like that can mess up any pitcher whether it be a major league or minor leaguer.
