I mean it's hard to really look at things now to how they were in the early 80's. But Komminsk did make the cover of Baseball America in 81 and billed as a 'potential triple crown winner' and in 83 on a best tool issue. I'd say he was in the conversation of best prospect in those days for those who had those conversations.
