Top 'em
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 10:06 pm
Too lazy to look at everyone else's roster. Post 'em if you're better and younger. Sub 25 YO and AA or above. Here's mine.
MLB level:
John Lannan* - 23 YO - 3.36 ERA, .259/.324/.391, 2.28 GO/AO, WAS #10
Aaron Laffey* - 23 YO - 2.98 ERA, .243/.295/.326, 1.37 GO/AO, CLE #5
Jesse Litsch - 23 YO - 3.70 ERA, .287/.318/.459, 1.28 GO/AO, 2007 TOR #8
Andrew Miller* - 23 YO - 4.87 ERA, .293/.362/.408, 1.16 GO/AO, 2007 DET #2
Eric Hurley - 22 YO -- 4.91 ERA, .256/.304/.512, 0.44 GO/AO, TEX #3
Laffey and Lannan both kill lefties and get GB's. Back half of the rotation ceilings but good sims coming. Litsch is their RH mirror. Miller has number 1 potential and his May- June line: 2.76 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, .217 BAA. Hurley's got the talent to be a Millwood type 2-3, but I'm sure he's going to have some growing pains before he gets there.
AAA level:
E. De La Cruz - 24 YO, 3.72 ERA, .259 BAA, 1.90 GO/AO, FLA #18
Jaime Garcia* - 21 YO, 3.16 ERA, .239 BAA, 2.04 GO/AO, STL #5
D. Robertson - 23 YO, 1.60 ERA, .154 BAA, 1.44 GO/AO, NYY #24
De La Cruz has good stuff, dominates minors but loses his mind in the bigs and walks everyone. If he gets his head screwed on right he could be a solid 3 with huge GB numbers. Garcia was BA top 100 last year and should be again this year. With massive injury problems in St Louis he could see time in the show. Maybe as high as a 2 with above average GB and K rates. Robertson. The Yanks have gone through, Alb, Veras, Ramirez, Patterson, etc.... He could see time in NY before the end of the year.
AA level:
David Price* - 22 YO, 1.27 ERA, .225 BAA, 1.32 GO/AO, TB #2
Trevor Cahill - 20 YO, 2.78 ERA, .174 BAA, 2.19 GO/AO, OAK #2
Tyler Herron - 21 YO, 3.57 ERA, .265 BAA, 0.82 GO/AO, STL #10
Bud Norris --- 23 YO, 4.58 ERA, .291 BAA, 1.24 GO/AO, Hou #5
Price you know. Cahill was the biggest omission on this year's BA top 100 list. He leads MiLB in K's. Number 2 ceiling seems realistic at this point. Herron is a soft tosser with good command. He's a hold and watch. Norris has been on the DL for a month and I can't find the reason. Throws hard with a good curve, could be a closer down the line.
