Dumb question here

But why bother listing Bruce? He came up in May and is never going back as far as we know.

I think it's based on performance this past season

It has nothing to do with the future.

Even then

He played for two months, how could he possibly have beat what some of the other guys did in six months?

Its more of what you showed you could do

rather than the numbers you put up.

Jay showed in his two months that he was far and away more talented than anyone else in that league.

Gotcha

I still don’t think he should be on a prospect list, but now I understand a little better.

I agree

I don’t understand how he can be on a prospect list at this point.

Also, who’s top 20 list is this anyway?

Fixed

If I get drunk well
I’ll pass out on the floor now baby,
You won’t bother me no more,
And if I’m drinkin’ well
You know that you’re my friend
And I say I think I’ll have myself a beer.
