Chris Coghlan, who was a top pick in 2006 and the National League Rookie of the Year in 2009, believes too much pressure is placed on young players in baseball today.

"People didn't even know who was in Triple-A 10 years ago," said Coghlan, 29. "People didn't know your name. Now 'prospects' are at an all-time high.

"I feel bad for the young kids now because people are putting so much pressure on them. People try to box you in to what type of player you're going to be. Who's to say they won't be great players, but it's an unfair expectation to put them in an image of what people think they might become."
