Man, that just underscores for me the high percentage of touted prospects who can't quite live up to the hype. It'd be nice if these guys broke out, but it's more unlikely than likely.

I think Castro's age kept him off this list. This was about eight guys younger than Springer that are currently on the ML roster.

Man, I forgot just how young most of the team is. Seems like Altuve has been here forever.
