The reason the bar is set so high for the "top" prospect in our system. Ex. Kory Casto. Is that we have had almost no farm system when we first cam to DC (Fack you Minya) So once we hear who the top prospect is we all expect him to be amazing and an all-star already, when they are really just a kid who are just 18 or 19. Marrero is doing well, we just have way too high of expectations.
Kory Casto was not an example of expectation problems - he was an example of talent problems. He was never that good of a prospect, but our system was so barren that he was the #1 by default. Casto would've been a fringe prospect in almost any other systems, and fringe prospects typically don't pan out.
Marrero is different - he's a legitimate talent and he'd be in the top 3 of just about any system. I hope expectations don't weigh down on him.
