That's the problem with prospects lists. We just theoretically traded for Seattle's #1 player.

He wouldn't make their top 5 right now.

Mike Soroka's one of the top 20 prospects in baseball at the moment, and nobody knows his name yet. I also don't know which source you're using, but Kolby Allard should be on everybody's top 50.

      - I get that, but they are not likely gonna win anything until 2018 at the earliest. -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 08:16 1
        
        I was taking why Boston would be in the market -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 08:30
  - I like Newcomb and Anderson, Maitan, but they are all at least 2 years away. - groiny Dec 2, 08:10 1
    - Allard was the best high school pitcher in last year's draft by a fairly decent amount, but he hurt his back about two months before the draft. - David Dec 2, 08:30
