Ummm, think your losing it. AJ Reed was not even ranked in the Astros top 10 prospects coming into the season. He's an advanced college hitter who was (unsurprisingly) feasting on A+ league pitching this season as a 22-year-old. Last year Singleton was the same age and put up similar numbers at AAA, and is doing so again this year. He's also been ranked as high as the #25 prospect in all of baseball, is signed to a very team-friendly contract, and is a better athlete. The fact that he scuffled in a small MLB sample size is relatively insignificant. Much, much, much better prospect. How is battling .267 last yr at AAA similar?
