Not only that, Z has a Seattle history of selecting good prospects in trades.  Everyone we received in the Putz trade has made the Majors (briefly for Cleto) and 3 of the 4 in the Lee trade (the 4th, Lawson, was traded for Laffey, already a Major League pitcher).
I fully expect these recently obtained prospects to shine.  As GMoney likes to say, sometimes players leap plateaus in their development.  Although more typical of pitchers, I suspect the scouts and Z saw something in each prospect that makes them believe they are better than their career statistics, or are ready to make another leap.
