<p>SB Nation's Minor League Ball has gone back and did a review of their preseason top 50 rankings.</p>
<p>Here's Tim Melville. I think their writeup is accurate: Passed up by other good talent.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>44) Tim Melville, RHP, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.royalsreview.com/">Royals</a>: </b>4.97 ERA, 90/54 K/BB in 112 innings in High-A Carolina League, 101 hits. Not a good season, still interesting but passed by other pitchers in deep KC system.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Passed up, passed over...whatever. Melville is rarely discussed anymore. I can't say that I know a whole lot about him.</p>

<p>SB Nation's Minor League Ball has gone back and did a review of their preseason top 50 rankings.</p>
<p>They had RHP <span>Aaron Crow</span> as the 42nd best pitching prospect coming in.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>42) <a href="../../../mlb/players/105296/aaron-crow" class="sbn-auto-link">Aaron Crow</a>, RHP, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.royalsreview.com/">Royals</a>: </b>5.66 ERA with 90/59 K/BB in 119 innings in Double-A, 130 hits. Sent back to High-A, remained shaky with 5.93 ERA, 51 hits in 44 innings, but a 53/9 K/BB. Showed good stuff but feel for pitching was less than expected.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Being sent back down is never a good sign and you don't hear a whole lot about him anymore.</p>

<p>SB Nation's Minor League Ball has gone back and did a review of their preseason top 50 rankings.</p>
<p>They had LHP Mike Montgomery as the 16th best prospect before the season:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>16) Mike Montgomery, LHP, <a href="https://www.royalsreview.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Royals</a>: </b>2.61 ERA with 88/31 K/BB in 93 innings on the season, including four starts in High-A, 13 in Double-A, and three rookie ball rehab starts. Remains a strong prospect, just needs to stay healthy.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Montgomery is usually one of the names tossed in there when talking about the future of the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.royalsreview.com/">Royals</a> minor league system. Staying healthy, though, is a concern, especially for a young pitcher.</p>
