	This is actually a very strong year! So many future all-stars!

	It's Bobby Abreu, Not Bob Abreu

	deej:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 04:49 GMT	0 points
	Abreu is listed as bob on the cited list (probably because his given name actually is "Bob." I'll add both though

	I remember an article in SI about how Cinci wouldn't trade Pokey Reese for Ken Griffey Jr because he was going to be a great leadoff hitter for years and years. found it: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1019453/index.htm

	I love picturing the poor Royals fan, excited by super hot pitching prospect Glendon Rusch. You poor fool.

	Great quiz. Unbelievably, I got Paul Wilson and Jay Payton (and I'm not even a Mets fan) but missed Colon, Abreu, and Wagner. I still remember my Terrell Wade card and the look on his face, but I missed that one, too.

	Embree wasn't exactly a star, but he has had a nice little career.

	That goes for most of these guys, which is why even though they were once 'top prospects', it's hard to call many of them disappointments. Obviously you can do the math and figure a single year or two or three year period probably won't produce 50 all-stars. Even poor Glendon Rusch had a long career. A long and terrible career.

	as a Mets fan, this makes me so very depressed. Wilson was a complete flame-out (and I was at his very first start - it was Strasburg-esque up until he got bombed), Payton never put it all together, and somehow Rey Ordonez, the one who probably had the best career, ended up with the MYN's...

	As per my custom, seeing that a completely innocuous comment of mine was voted down (anonymously) out of spite, I will vote down every other comment. Spite for spite.

	It's Chad HermansEn, not HermansOn.

	metsfan2231:	May 31st, 2011 at 03:04 GMT	1 point
	Imagine a Mets fan's excitement if you told him in 1996 that 8 of these guys would play for their team...if only they lived up to the hype
