Can someone tell me why Josiah Hartshorn has gotten so much helium this year and Braylon Payne has not gotten nearly as much? Payne is only 6 months older and outside of his decently worse hit tool everything else Payne has is way louder than Hartshorn. Just feel like they are closer than any ranks have them.

I would imagine one of two reasons

1. with a deep system it's easy for guys to get overlooked, and minor league evaluators also need to spread out the love since they have to "sell" to all 30 teams.

2. i don't know much about hartshorn, but payne strikes out a bunch, and also may not be "helium" since he was a highly regarded prospect to begin with.
