ORIGINAL: slvemike4u Good luck to them,and I mean that...but if they are three years away they better be in Baseball America's list of top 100 prospects....otherwise there is no probably about it. Do a little research....look into the amount of players currently playing at some level minor league ball,add up all of those players at all of those levels....than consider there are 800 major league jobs. The hardest thing to do in major sports is to hit a major league pitcher.or as it has been so succincty put....hitting a round ball with a round bat.....squarely. Throw in the deception in an off speed pitch,the break in a curve, the cut in a cutter....the nano second within which you get to differentiate from those pitches......good luck to your friends. One was top 10 and the other was well within the top 100. More homers between them than 3 of the teams in the league. According to the hitting coach (17 years in the majors) who is married to a friend of mine from HS they will both be there. Presently, over half of the parent team's roster started out here and there are a half dozen others on other teams in the majors that started here and were traded at some point.
