Good topic! I think of Jefferies in the same light as a Trot Nixon, who ended up having a gritty, serviceable career, but was never the superstar that he had been projected to be. And of course, from Boston we had Phil Plantier, who crushed 33 homers while in Pawtucket, but then could never quite make that translate at Fenway. And there was Craig Hansen, straight out of St. John's and brought to Boston too quickly. Instead of being the dominant closer of the future, Hansen found himself quickly out of Major League Baseball.
