The Phils' top prospect has the makings of a star. But let's give him a chance to breathe first.
Everyone is excited about J.P. Crawford. I mean, why wouldn't they be?
He is a top-five prospect. He's had a terrific minor league career and will soon be the team's starting shortstop, hopefully for years to come. Experts say he has the potential to be an All-Star and maybe even an MVP candidate someday.
All this stuff is great to hear. Really, it is. It's great to dream about a top young player, one who will hopefully be up in the Majors soon, ready to lead a young club back to contention.
