These prospects don't mean shit. Minor-league Gordon wouldn't wipe his ass with the trading card of any of these guys. We're talking minor-league gods when discussing Gordon and Hosmer.
Sal Perez, on the other hand, is a real-life beast. Don't disrespect him by comparing him to a #2 pitcher like Shields.

Perhaps those guys are minor league gods because Royals fans overrate their prospects to give themselves hope.
And Sal Perez and his OPS+ of 96 isn't beastly.
Furthermore, he said he wouldn't trade the Cardinals' entire system for Perez. There isn't a GM in baseball who doesn't take that package for Salvador Perez.
