From 2004-2008 outfielder Brad Snyder was one of Cleveland’s best prospects, ranking as high as #3 in 2006. His power-speed combination had some people comparing him to Fred Lynn, which is a very high compliment. Unfortunately, strikeouts were a problem that dogged Snyder as he moved up through the minors, eroding his prospect status. Cleveland lost him on waivers to the Cubs in 2008. Snyder would eventually see a handful of at-bats over parts of three seasons with the Cubs and Rangers, but would ultimately become a 4A-type and retire following the 2017 season.
