The TOP 10 PROSPECTS from 2011. Where Are They Now? 

Thanks man I appreciate it!

Two of my fav channels

How are you verified

Hi jolly

Love your videos too.

It was kinda crazy to me how quick the Phillies gave up on him too considering they held onto him for so long and he was actually pretty solid for a little

We are phuckin thrilled to have him!! The excitement around here is insane right now!! Regardless of how it ends, I’m thankful as hell for Bruce and the rest of the fellas for bringing some baseball excitement back to Philly!! And shoutout to Trout too!! Kinda cool to say one of the best ever grew up 15 minutes away from where I did!!

It’s been helping a ton this past week, I was at 1.3k subs last Friday. Glad you like the vids!

Thanks! Hope you check out my newer videos, this one’s old and not really great.

Trout is better than Griffey

@@brandonlorch6825 yeah, griffey was not close to Trout and a bit overrated imo even if he was a clear HOF'er.

Glad you enjoyed!

Or throws an ice cream sandwich he was eating at a scout!

dude collecting baseball cards is for children

At least y’all have a bright future now

Thanks! Appreciate the support!

Glad you enjoyed!

It’s about time, padres fans wanted him to get the guillotine before the season 😂

Sometimes all it takes is a new city and a fresh jersey.

Welp 😆

It’s nice to know that he was a cool guy but now I feel worse that his career burned out

Ice Cream Sandwich

Mariners had some talented guys in the early 2010s, sucks that they could never put it all together around king Felix. Ackley and Montero were supposed to be two generational contact hitters. I’m a Yankees fan, they were comparing Jesus to Miggy, then we traded him. Idk what we saw, maybe the bad work ethic, but Cashman sold at the right time.

@@AndThatsBaseball at least you are a fan of a successful team. It boggles my mind to know that everything from 02-20 was pure mediocre at best. So many good players it's honestly to wrap the brain around it. Another one you can say the Mariners nearly broke was Zunino rushing him from AA to a crucial piece of the team. Just goes to show what bad management does to a club.

Yeah, I feel like Yankees fans feel entitled sometimes. So many people wanna say fire Cashman when he’s never had a team below .500 and he’s always finding great deals on undervalued players. Even this year, we’ve had an insane amount of injuries yet we’re still competitive, I’m very lucky to root for this team.

I was such a Montero believer. I remember going all in buying his baseball cards. Now they sit in a closet and are worthless lol 😆.

As also a Mariners fan, I somehow am both relieved and disappointed that you didn't bring up the "I've cream sandwich incident." As far as Ackley goes, I legit feel bad for him because Jack Z really did screw him. Jack Z literally had the strategy for a few years of "2nd basemen are usually really athletic, so we should get as many 2nd basemen as we possibly can and play them wherever, and I'm sure it will work out fine," and then would wonder why the team was usually near it at dead last in fielding. I remember there being a few games where I figured out there were like 4 or 5 2nd basemen playing in random places around the field. It should be noted that Jack Z is also the guy who later signed Robinson Cano just to make sure that no future M's 2nd base prospect would ever have the chance to come up to the majors playing his native position.

“Perennial all star” 💀

They picked him high and didn’t develop him lmao. They didn’t develop any of their hitters at the time.

It was made early 2021, a lot had changed

Same man. He got a lot of hate for no reason. The coaches messed with his pitches and he started throwing a sinker/2 seam more for no reason.

He’s in San Diego now, I mean in El Paso AAA.

And now he doesn't even show up for bullpen sessions 💀

I’m responding to RU-vid comments instead of studying for my exam

Idk what happened to him, he had a solid 2020 then just fell back into the same awful habits from his first 2 years. It was a bad deal from the beginning but I never thought it would be this bad

As a Royals fan, Hosmer was a great all-around player but got way too big of a contract from the Padres. I can't blame him for taking that deal, but he simply wasn't worth that much money.

Julio is 30. His issue was pitching tons of innings, a bad coaching staff, and likely a couple injuries he played through that formed bad habits

Nobody needs me to tell em how good Harper's been the last 2 years

Nope, I didn’t realize he was using tack. Once he stopped, he was awful. And his huge ego also got in the way of him realizing he’s not the same guy anymore

@@AndThatsBaseball that sucks man ill never forget watching him throw 105 for the reds

Yeah they’re solid

I’m sure he’d be crushed

Don’t think so, there’s been plenty of top 10 prospects on mid/small market teams that have been busts (see all the mariners over the years)

Gary’s had a better career than a lot of these guys

I’m gonna do another one before the 2023 season about the 2013 prospect class

I looked at chart and my math was wrong, however he still has more win then a lot of the people combined which is just insane

I'll always remember Jesus Montero for the time he had an Ice Cream Sandwich thrown at him.

He’s a 2x all-star…

He’s having the best October since 02 bonds or 04 Beltran for sure

You’re probably right to be puzzled, I wasn’t really good at this at the time. I haven’t watched this vid back in over a year so I’m sure I’d be confused about some of my decisions too.

They picked him and didn't develop him well. They barely ever developed any hitters well.

Ackley’s knees were shot even as a rookie. They Mariners broadcast was ordered not to show him running or warming up before the game. It was that bad. Sources said he had the knees of a 70 year old at age 20. That said the M’s coulda screwed up Mike Trout. And I’m a true blue M’s lifer

@@vadenk4433 I never heard about that, wow. If that's true, they didn't do enough homework on his health before the pick

Dude was so good for like half a season

Yeah he was barely scraping 90 by his late 20s

Hey I’m all for histrionics if it makes for a great story (and as long as you’re not presenting it as 100% factual)

Jason Heyward made $200 million dollars as a Major League Baseball player and is still playing

I made this early during the 2021 season tbf

@@AndThatsBaseball That's valid then lol, shame he dropped off so hard after, also great work on the video as a whole!

The Yanks have a good team. Anything’s possible in October

@@AndThatsBaseball I am a Yankees fan. I just am from here and reside here. I am not ripping the Yankees. Houston seems to be the best in the American League. I have to here all this stuff, when Cleveland does something good. We are on the same page, my friend.

I think it’s really hard to argue that since so many of these guys don’t make it at all. Moose was a solid player for about half a decade and a really good player for a couple of years. He helped the team that drafted him win a World Series. I’ll take that all day

Cuz this is the 2011 prospect list, not the 2008 draft list. It's from MLB.com's preseason prospect rankings

@@AndThatsBaseball I know bro….hosmer was drafted the same yr in 08 and came up the same yr as Alvarez in but yet he’s on your list 🤦🏽‍♂️…..but ok…..dope video tho

@@whoishec7615 Pedro Alvarez exceeded his Rookie Limits in 2010

@@tigre2154 gotcha…..that’s what it is….he was brought up mid season but exceeded the at bats so they counted 10’ as his rookie yr…..thank you 💪🏽

Gerardo Parra?

Yeah cuz he remembered he has to ground out on every ball in play

It’s a 20 min video you’re gonna need to be specific

This was like my second video ever I didn’t know what I was doing. But I’ll still use whatever music I damn please.

@@AndThatsBaseball yikes immediately responding too light criticism on a year old video. Also I might have stuck around if you didn't act like a tool.
