Are the Prospects Worth it ?

In a trade season when deals fell through over unknown prospects being fought over, it got me thinking how often do these prospects, pried from the hands of savvy GMs, live up to their hype? Consider these few who were part of midseason deals who actually did: Randy Johnson was traded from Montreal to Seattle in 1989 for LHP Mark Langston. RHP Trevor Hoffman went from Florida to San Diego in 1993 for OF Gary Sheffield and OF Grady Sizemore went from Montreal to Cleveland in 2002 for RHP Bartolo Colon. Can anybody think of any others?

The AJ deal was an off season deal, not midseason.

It was actually Brandon Phillips, Grady Sizemore and Cliff Lee for Bartolo Colon. Wow. What a trade. Wasn't Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps. How about Jason Varitek for Heathcliffe Slocomb.
