Essentially no hyped Cardinals prospect has lived up to expectations in years.
Aside from three great October starts, Wacha was a disappointment.
Taveras goes without saying
Martinez was a headcase that met about 35% of his potential
Rasmus: See Martinez
Brett Wallace: Thank God they traded him for Holliday
Alex Reyes: Total bust
We'll see how Gorman, Carlson, Walker, and Liberatore end up, but it's hard to be too optimistic given recent history.
