I'm not sure if risk is the right word. Project might be a better term. For instance, maybe a HS kid has good tools, but needs to work on hitting junk, or speed up his swing or something. He's not necessarily someone you would want to spend a first round pick on, but he could be something special if he works on his flaws.
