Because I remember the hype about Dice-K. People weren't even allowed to watch him pitch in public. It was insane. There were articles about how his torque could alter the laws of physics, and such.
But from what I've seen, he's rather pedestrian.

The list of "can't miss" prospects in baseball is long and gets longer every year. But everyone seems to be totally convinced. There's absolutely no way to judge the robustness of a prospect until he gets past AA ball. And the Nationals are probably not the best organization for him to end up in.

They're talking like he won't even go to the minors. Just go straight to the Bigs.

I think the Texas Rangers did that like 30 years ago. No one's ever done it since. Huge mistake. I don't care how good he is.
