You hear the same noise every season. Someone reads a scouting report on a minor leaguer, and all of a sudden he is pegged a savior by a bunch of people who couldn't identify the guy in a police lineup. Why do we buy into the hype every time simply by going on someone else's scouting?
Let's face it. The casual fan has never seen Strasburg, Chapman or Heyward for example play. Yet, Nationals, Reds and Braves fans thinks they have Hall of Famers in their system. Now, I'm not saying these guys are going to be busts, but can we form our own opinions.
The internet has made it so easy to just quickly look up someone's opinon (you know, like the one you are reading right now). Nothing beats going out and watching these guys play though first before purchasing your Hall of Fame induction tickets.
