The Post-Hype Limbo of Jon Singleton

Have we forgotten Big Jon? This man deserves to play.

On June 2nd, 2014, the Astros announced both a contract extension and promotion to the Major Leagues for first base prospect Jonathan Singleton, then a 22-year old who was hitting .267/.397/.544 with 14 HR and 43 RBI through 54 games in the Pacific Coast League. Singleton had been a top-100 MLB prospect for four consecutive years through his rise in the minor leagues, according to both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus.
