The more conventional guys like Gorman, Jordan Walker, Ivan Herrera, and Mason Wynn really impress me. I also wonder all the time how Oscar Taveras' career would have went too, to make things more serious/sad.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of Walker's bat and Wynn.  I watched Wynn when they played the Cubs High A affiliate earlier this year and he was electric.  Big breakout player for them.

Total box score scouting, and insert caveat about how neither will probably turnout great because teenagers, but Alcantara is a way better prospect than Dominguez. Not much to complain about this year but you got a potential stud just because Hal didn't have to pay the LT from the Rizzo deal.

Jordan Walker has star written all over him. He's basically what Ronny Mauricio and Marco Luciano are meant to turn into.

No kidding.  He has to be a consensus top 10 prospect right now, right?

No, it's how they've been for quite awhile now.  Pull some obscure player from the draft, sprinkle some Cardinal Voodoo on them, and watch them become a solid contributor at the big league level for 2-4 years.  They never have to extend any of them because they don't make it even through their arb years while being productive and are easily replaced with another voodoo guy.  Their teams are never juggernauts, as they don't produce superstars, but they are always competetive.  

I feel like they've been like this since I was a kid when they sign McGwire. Always end up drafting guys that produce young and fade way in their prime ages
