I'm beginning to believe that there is such a thing as a "AAAA" prospect.
Not good enough for MLB, but too good for AAA.
We've seen the likes of Kelvius Sampson, Jumbo Diaz, Cody Reed, Robert Stephenson and Tim Adleman all pitched with a 2.00 or 3.00 ERA (or 0.75 ERA for Jumbo) then come up to MLB and immediately get smacked around like you wouldn't believe.
How many more years will these guys be bad before they reach their "potential?"
Because it is exhausting waiting for them to get their shit together.
Granted, Stephenson has been below average even in AAA for the last 2 years, so I'm not surprised he's falling flat on his face in the majors....
