There’s no doubt that the Astros top pick in 2005, Brian Bogusevic, has been a disappointment.  In his first full season last year, he was knocked around to the tune of a 4.65 ERA between split squad and Low A.  And this is definitely a guy who’s not playing over his head because he was 22 at the time.  The good news is, Bryan Smith at the Hardball Times sees him as a potential 2007 breakout candidate and he talked about Bogusevic in a column on eight prospects to watch in 2007.  Good stuff.
