I thought that Balentien was always somewhat questionable—great power, but with patience/contact questions.

Clement, while he didn’t impress, to say the least, wasn’t given much of a chance (do they really think that Vidro is so much better that he should be blocking Clement? I guess that’s why Bavasi is sitting on his counch in his underwear eating salami at the moment…). He could still turn out to hitin the majors, which might be valuable depending where he ends up positionally, as far as I know (which isn’t much, as usual).

But not everyone thought he was a great prospect. Kevin Goldstein at Baseball Prospectus I think gave him only 3 out of 5 stars. More than a few people don’t see tremendous upside there.
