i'm excited about red wings prospects (not as excited as 84...) because the guy running the show has a long track record of success and his first two draft picks finished 1 and 4 in rookie of the year voting.
al avila has a track record of failure and until we get these guys out of the system and bring some new ones in, that record will likely continue.
one or two might hit. the odds are that a couple will become good major league baseball players. but the vast vast majority will not. so i will continue to chuckle at the amount of excitement generated for A ball pitchers.
hopefully i'm wrong and 84 is right.
