55 is an above-average MLB player. It's a guy goes out and hangs 3 WAR per year. It's a really really good ballplayer.

Exactly, that's no knock on Piscotty at all. That fits in with the "hype".

80: The Wire/The Larry Sanders Show
70: Deadwood/Eastbound and Down
60: Mr. Show/True Detective (TD has a future 7+)
50: Sopranos/Curb/Bored To Death
40: Girls
30: Entourage
20: Jezebel and other hyper-feminist blogs' praise for Girls as something more than a so-so thing about horrible people making horrible choices.

that doesnt help because TD would be an 80 and Entourage would be a 70.

Sopranos would have been like a 75 but the ending ruined the entire series so 10

I don't know how long BA has been including risk levels with prospects, but I'm glad they do. It's one of the reasons I like how Hockey's Future does prospect ratings.

Kind of funny to see Bryan ranked 10th by Prospectus and not even in top-30 of BA.

Carson Kelly has 60 potential if he sticks at C, but 50 is more accurate for 3B.
