Finding a place for every prospect in the near future can prove difficult when your farm system is stacked at a particular position. There’s always a chance a major leaguer is signed at a position he plays well for multiple years thus making it impossible for anyone to ever grab the spot. It’s why every New York Mets prospect who plays shortstop needs to learn another position on the farm.
