I have an almost too good to be true type attitude about our current prospects. And then we beat to death each players weakness, which contributes to a unenthusiastic view of our current system. I mean, didn't we have like 5 guys with an OPS in the top 10 of the Southern League at one point this year? Salome and Gamel finished first and third. Brantley slid off a bit and then was traded, and Escobar slipped off a bit as well. I look at that and think, "yeah, right" and assume something unrealistic is going on - like park factors or luck over a small sample. I compare it to our current major leaguers' performance at that level and my brain assumes something has changed that allows our current prospects to do so well - "They can't be better than what we have now," says my brain. But maybe they are. Salome does not get gushed over enough here, for one. He's a catcher, aged 22, who led the Southern League in OPS.
