These guys are not "nascent" magic beans.  They are real  magic beans--and 
two of them are probably closer to sprouting than most  minor league prospects.
 
Gordon will probably be pushing Mark Teahen out of KC by next  year.  And 
Miguel Olivo's tenure in Seattle is now looking almost  as short.

All true, but let's now talk hard facts.  When's the last time a  highly 
touted rookie put up a $10 rookie season?  It sure doesn't happen  very often.  
For example, Alex Rodriguez sucked as a rotisserie player for  almost two full 
seasons.  The same can generally be said for all of the  highly touted rookie 
pitchers.  And how many runs is Alex Gordon going to  drive in for that 
power-packed KC lineup?
 
Don't get me wrong - sometimes these magic beans sprout.  And I'd love  to 
have Gordon and Clement on my roster.  But, all in all, I think the  safest bet 
is always sending them to Robbins.
