We continue to look at why it was that top prospects did not find success in the big leagues. We lead off with a big bat in Nick Weglarz who also begins a theme for this episode injuries. The Big Canadian moved quickly, but got slowed due to injury and then never got the chance he likely deserved.

Next up is a pair of similar arms with huge potential that had even bigger injury issues. Jason Knapp and Brady Aiken were about a decade apart in terms of when they were let go, but the two arms have a lot in common in terms of how long they pitched, innings pitched, and what went wrong.

We end with a look back at Alex White, who the Indians turned into Ubaldo Jimenez. I explain a crazy theory I had at the time on White. It is interesting that now it would be very clear about White’s chances at MLB success. Yet a decade ago the same numbers were not looked at as much. It is easy to see how ERA fails why strikeout data is so much more valued when one looks at White.
