Because of last year’s deadline deals to restock the farm system, there’s been a lot more talk about prospects now than there’s been in many years. It’s really nice to see all of the attention being given to prospects. It’s even better to hear David Stearns talk about youngsters from the farm system needing to have a legitimate shot. The hope is that with higher-quality prospects and a better opportunity, that we’ll soon see more homegrown players on the field.
But, in my opinion, some have taken it just a hair too far. Elsewhere you can find people talking about how this is the best shape the farm system has ever been. Perhaps you can excuse that from people who still get asked for their ID when they go out. But even those youngsters should have an idea what the farm system was cranking out in the mid-to-late 1960s or the early-to-mid 1980s.
