Wasn't this guy the Minor League Player of the Year or Baseball of America top prospect or something. IIRC, when this guy homered into the stands about 10 feet from me during the 1988 Triple-A All-star game he was the hottest thing since sliced bread. His rookie card was practically a collectible at the time.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:13, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

O.K. it is in there, but I don't see a link. I was looking for a blue link about this. Should this be in his infobox. I was thinking it should be there. He does not have such an extensive list of accomplishments that it shouldn't.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:18, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

O.K. I found a link and fixed up his LEAD, but there should be a link for MLB Draft first overall.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:25, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like so many Wikipedia articles, this entry misses the mark completely. Other than being a mediocre baseball player, Jefferies is noteworthy for being the biggest prospect in baseball for one offseason which happened to coincide with the height of the baseball card boom. So before the internet, he was the biggest "next big thing" there ever was in baseball except that he wasn't that big thing and is generally remembered as a complete bust, but a noteworthy one and not a total bust because he actually was decent for awhile. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vegaswiki (talk • contribs) 22:25, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
