...to gauge future viability as a Major League Player. Sometimes they will say this guy projects to be a No. 1 starter; sometimes they say he's a No. 5 starter at best -- but what actually happens is always quite a bit of a crapshoot. Just compare the No. 1 draft picks over the past 10 years and see who was right about their guesses and who wasn't. With guys who were great from day one it is easy to say, "Well, I knew he was going to always be great," but with many other players it is not so easy to tell.

Take a look at this year's All-Stars and see how many of them you just knew and everybody just knew they would be superstars. Your answers will vary. That's my only point.
