CC has been a low flier for a while now. This is from rhd's 2012 preseason list:
69 Cheslor Cuthbert - You'd never tell from his name that he's from Nicaragua. Considered a hi-upside guy. Was the youngest player in the MWL and has held his own so far. Projects to be above-average in hitting and power. He's a below-average runner, and it's a question whether he can stick at 3B.
Here is his company. Nice list BTW:
64 Devin Mesoraco
65 Javy Guerra
66 Nick Franklin
67 Will Middlebrooks
68 Nick Castellanos
69 Cheslor Cuthbert
70 Travis D'Arnaud
71 Jake Odorizzi
72 A.J. Cole

He has good hands a strong arm, so 3B is likely the longterm position. He ain't George Brett, but Moustakas he might become. So far he's unowned in 99% of Yahoo leagues.

Unless you’re a Royals fan or a prospect connoisseur, you might have no idea who Cheslor Cuthbert is, but my nerdily-sorted spreadsheets really like the Nicaraguan infielder. Last year, he hit .277/.339/.429 as a 22-year-old in Triple-A. He also struck out in an encouragingly low 14% of his trips to the plate. He already looks like a Royal.
That performance, along with the fact that he plays primarily third base — a somewhat premium defensive position — landed Cuthbert at 74th on KATOH’s preseason top-100 list, placing him tops among Royals farmhands. That was before he opened this season by slashing .333/.402/.624 in 24 games. He was one of the very best hitters at Triple-A over the season’s first month, and was quite possibly the best prospect-age hitter in Triple-A.
