I think the front office is just as much to blame for F-Mart's shortcomings tbh. He earned almost all of his hype in 2005 when he slugged over .500 in the SAL at age 16, which is ridiculous. Then he got bumped to High-A, still at 16, and struggled to end the year.
The logical thing to do would have been to have him open up 2006 in High-A again (now 17, still really really young for that league) and instead they opened him up in Double-A. He hasn't been quite the same since. He's fallen on the Top 100 prsopects list every year since then. He was #77 this year. I'd be shocked if he somehow made it again next year.
The guy only turns 22 after the season and yet I feel about ready to give up on the guy as a prospect.
