I wonder if a lot of it stems from the nature of the prospects themselves. A prodigy that comes along with the right mindset, like a Michael Wacha and Wil Myers (not to twist the knife), is pretty rare.
That said, I do wonder about the development system the Royals have in place.

It's not just the top prospects with that issue, though. Scrubs like Jarrod Dyson have it, too, apparently.
