Top 50 Pitching Prospects of 2006 In Review

Really good read. I used it for the basis of posting on a Jays blog, which I'll copy/paste:
From my count, 20 of 50 pitchers panned out, with 9 great starters (Verlander, Liriano, Cain, Billingsley, Lester, Weaver, Hughes, Danks, Hamels), 8 quality starters (Baker, Pelfrey, Sanchez, Volquez, Garza, Gio Gonzalez, Romero, Davis) and 3 very good closers (Papelbon, Broxton, Jenks)
26 of 50 hitting prospects panned out, with 8 superstars (Zimmerman, Fielder, J. Upton, Braun, Tulowitski, CarGo, McCutchen, and Pedroia), 12 very good players (D. Young, Quentin, S. Drew, Kendrick, Markakis, Barton, Morales, Adam Jones, Butler, Pence, Rasmus, and Willingham) and 8 acceptable starters who could still develop further (Tabata, DeWitt, E. Aybar, Pie, Martin, I. Stewart, C. Young, A. Gordon).
This gives me more hope than I previously had for our stockpiled prospects. Nice to see what Lawrie, Drabek, Stewart, etc, could turn into.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

"Great" doesn't mean what it used to mean, I guess.
Neither does "quality," apparently.
