When you consider this list it really shows the horrendous mortality rate for prospects.

Yikes

2 ML talents on the entire team. Yikes is right.

2 ML talents on the entire team. Yikes is right.

Considering that this team consists of mainly players from the past, and only a couple from the last 2 years, I'd say that's why there's only 2 ML prospects on the team.

You make a valid point, but when you consider that the team has had only two ML regulars on its roster for that period of time it doesn't say much for the draft process before Joe Jordan. Just imagine how different that list will look in a few years when the current roster has matriculated to the majors. My Guess is that Delmonico will replace Mahoney, Schoop will replace Adams, Machado will replace Givens, and DYLAN Bundy will replace Beato. BIG difference in talent.

[DougDE]

DYLAN Bundy will replace Beato

Bundy played for the Ironbirds?

DYLAN Bundy will replace Beato

Bundy played for the Ironbirds?

My mistake. Somehow I substituted DELMARVA for ABERDEEN. Can I plead advanced age?

[DougDE]

Most definetly. I double checked the title of the thread a couple times myself to make sure it wasnt my brain cramping. Im prone to it

[Shorebirdfan]

It's also important to remember that most of your advanced players skip this level. As established above, Dylan Bundy never played there. Matt Wieters never played there and so on.

An all decade team for Double AA would give you the best look. Now that said even if you did that for Bowie you would probably say YIKES!
