		<description>cheld-People are so enamored with Flowers because he hit a couple of HR&#039;s in The Arizona Fall League. However, what they fail to realize is that the AFL is  a hitters&#039; league and Flowers didn&#039;t have to face Tommy Hanson.</description>

		<description>&quot;I’m just not seeing this as a bad trade, no matter Flower’s potential-and at this point, potential is ALL he has.&quot;

Agreed.  People overvalue prospects.  They look at a guy like Flowers and think &quot;man, if this guy plays to his potential, he&#039;ll be good&quot;.  What they forget to factor in is what happens when a guy doesn&#039;t play to his potential, which happens frequently.  

When a prospect is performing better than his expected long-term potential, you sell, just like in the stock market.</description>
