Prospects Turning into Hall of Famers

I was wondering if anyone had stories of young prospects turning into hall of fame caliber players or stars. I'm not talking about guys like Bogaerts or Buxton, more the players who are drafted in either '15 or '16, many of whom are real life people.

For me, I don't have the screen shot, but the Red Sox have a player in their DSL league now named Christopher Acosta who was signed in the '14 Int. FA period. He basically turned into Pedro 2.0.

Just want to see what others out there have seen from the players in this years draft class.

I'm just starting 2051. I've had a few guys from this irl draft class go to the HOF. Chandler Day SP, Luken Baker SP, and Brandon Rowe 2B. I'm not sure if Rowe is a real kid or not...he was drafted in the 12th round by the Brewers. While he wasn't drafted, Yoan Moncada also made the HOF.

Of these 4, Rowe was the only one that was a sure fire HOF'er. The others were kind of borderline. It seems the computer has a need to induct at least one guy every year. I've uninducted a few guys because I felt they just weren't up to snuff.
