Tyrone Taylor and Trent Grisham have actually had very similar trajectories. Both picked out of high school in the 1st/2nd round, both played well in rookie ball, both had fairly promising showings at Single-A as teens, and both struggled at A+ the next year. Despite the struggles at A+ both were then shoved up to AA and both didn't do very well. The second year in AA is where they took different turns. Grisham hit well earning him a promotion to AAA (then to the MLB squad). However, Taylor once again struggled in AA and basically got his promotion to AAA by default of struggling at the same level two years in a row. Considering they were high school picks it is surprising both were shoved through the minors whether they had success or not. Neither of them ever really got a chance to take things easy until they got to AA...which is arguably the hardest league in the minors for a prospect. I am guessing part of it is the fact they played the OF and there is always an influx of them in the lower minors needing playing time. Taylor is an interesting prospect....ceiling may not be very high, but he has hit well so far in his short career. Even before the big game he has really held his own. In his first taste of the bigs last year he went 4/10 in 12 PAs and only struck out once.
