What are your thoughts on the new crop? Betances, Banuelos, Montero and even Brackman. Did you spit out your coffee when they drafted that kid in the 1st during the player draft like i did?
I would like to see Banuelos succeed because I've been watching him ever since he started. Casey Kelly from Boston was getting all this ridiculous hype, yet Banuelos' stats were a little better, if I remember correctly, but he received no attention. Now the tables have turned completely.
I don't have high hopes for Betances or Brackman. I think Montero is the real deal, but has nothing left to prove at AAA.
That said, I would have traded any of them to get a Cliff Lee or potential ace. Prospects are always just prospects, and if they can be flipped for elite MLB level talent, you do it every time.
