Poor year for talent, when compared to the rest discussed. Perhaps it's too soon to judge?

I'm not a system player. I am a system.
A little bit. This is certainly where you start to cross the line from "What have you done?" to "What might you do?"
That said, there aren't a lot of guys with untapped upside left from the upper rounds of this draft. My guess is we're going to see more than a few 2006 draftees taken here.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.

Even if he's been a bit disappointing, he was rated as the top prospect in baseball a few years back. He had mad value.

LaPorta didn't leave College until the end of 2007, and was drafted 7th overall by the Brewers, where he was sent to Cleveland in the C. C. Sabathia trade, but was drafted in the 14th Round of this draft. He OPS'd 1.054 in AAA this season and .624 in Cleveland this year. He's only 24.

He's a totally underrated pitcher.
