With hindsight, it is clear Isringhausen and Wilson are not the young phenoms there were hyped to be last spring.

Another young phenom, a few good big men and a projected No. 2 pick who wants to play for the Vancouver Grizzlies.

Problem children and young phenoms sell.

They were supposed to be two of the young phenoms who would carry the Mets to glory.

It has also led to young phenoms like Kevin Garnett gobbling up $126 million over seven years.

And like many a young phenom in baseball, he went 0 for 4 in his first day in the big leagues.

Some young phenoms have made the transition easily.

Martin's opponent, Hernandez, is still a young phenom himself.

To me, X- Factor used the young black phenom to embarass a 42 year old black lady.

"More and more young phenoms are popping up because their parents are trying to breed basketball stars," Rivers said.
