      Here’s another piece by Steven Goldman:

      I have no idea how to guage if he’s right or not because the whole concept of player development is so nebulous. It’s hard to know if the player isn’t as good as originally thought or if the coaching so poor that the player can’t develop beyond the high school/collegiate/minor league level. Although I suppose if an organization simply can’t develop ANYONE then it’s probably a lot of both.
