Iowa Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Rank these pitchers: Aaron Thompson Annibal Sanchez Chris Volstad Gabriel Hernandez Jason Vargas Josh Johnson Logan Kensing Jacob Marceaux Jeffrey Allison Renyel Pinto Ricky Nollasco Ryan Tucker Scott Olsen Sean West Sergio Mitre Taylor Tankersly Yusmeiro Petit If I forgot someone, add them in. All these pitching prospects is getting confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accord Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 We will be the first team in major league history to have a 10 man rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugg Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 1. Anibal Sanchez 2. Scott Olsen 3. Gaby Hernandez 4. Yusmeiro Petit 5. Chris Volstad 6. Josh Johnson 7. Ricky Nolasco 8. Aaron Thompson 9. Ryan Tucker 10. Renyel Pinto 11. Taylor Tankersley 12. Jeff Allison 13. Jacob Marceaux 14. Sean West 15. Logan Kensing Mitre and Vargas have too many innings to be on this list, in my opinion. Allison could shoot way up the list, but he has more to prove than those above him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta think Volstad has the highest potential out of all of them, no? Or maybe I'm just being led by the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugg Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I go with a little of both. Volstad still has more to prove than those in front of him on my list. Although I personally think Sanchez is going to be the best of the bunch overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I personally think Sanchez is going to be the best of the bunch overall. Sanchez should have the biggest immediate impact, I think. '07 #2 or 3, and should get the call up later in the '06 season. I'm also anxious to see how Johnson does this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeLowell Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Jeesh, with all these prospects we could possibly trade for any cheap, young, and talented player in the league if the team that has the player(s) we want are willing to make a trade.

ultimopain Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Hard to rank them, but I'd say out of that list, these guys have the most potential: Sanchez, Petit, Hernandez, Tankersly, Olsen, Volstad and Nolasco. Geez we have some great prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimopain Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 You also forgot Tyler and Bowyer who we got from the Twins and Delgado and Garcia from the Red Sox, but only Tyler is a starter... I think. Do we actually have any decent relief prospects that are near the major leagues, besides Bowyer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowa Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 ..well, isn't Tank supposed to be converting to the bullpen? Also, don't forget about Resop and Messenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyggyMarlin Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 How many picks will we have in first/sandwich/2nd rounds in the draft next year based on free agency? Don't forget if we have a bunch of picks again, more pitching will show up (again)... I really hope they go for at least one decent hitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugg Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I believe at the moment all we have is our first rounder, a sandwich (AJ), our 2nd rounder, and 2 third rounders (AJ). Since he's the only lock to be granted arbitration. Our other Type A's were Conine and Jones and neither are locks to be granted arbitration. Conine would almost have to accept as it's hard to imagine someone giving up their first rounder to sign him and he would make more than I'm sure we're willing to pay in arby. I think we should grant it to Jones, but who knows. Gonzalez and Enc are Type B's, but we don't want them back and neither has generated much FA interest, so it'd be risky to grant it to them too.

Hotcorner Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 the prevailing thought is that Gaby Hernandez and Annibal Sanchez will need more time in the minors, correct? But that Petit could be ready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriaLovesVegas Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Has anybody seen any of these guys pitch? It sounds like everybody posting on this website is super excited about these highly rated prospects but have never seen them in action. Half of what they write is probably exagerrations trying to artificially inflate the trade value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I agree for the most part. These are the changes I made. I frankly don't think Tankersley and Kensing are any good. 1-13 all have a great shot at making it to the big leagues and being average to above average. The first six on that list have the potential to be number 2-3 starters, while Olsen, Sanchez, and Hernandez have a shot of being number 1 starters. Petit has the potential to be like Greg Maddux. He's got sick control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juanky Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 the prevailing thought is that Gaby Hernandez and Annibal Sanchez will need more time in the minors, correct? But that Petit could be ready? Yes. No reason based on statistics (since none of us have seen him pitch) to believe Petit is not ready to go. I guess I'm the only one that sees Sanchez's future in the bullpen, at least this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSwift25 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 If we're talking closest to MLB ready and high quality (since that's usually the spirit of the BA rankings): Scott Olsen Yusmeiro Petit Jason Johnson Sergio Mitre Anibal Sanchez Rick Nolasco Chris Volstad Aaron Thompson Renyel Pinto Gaby Hernandez Ryan Tucker Sean West (only this low because he is just too raw) Taylor Tankersly Jacob Marceaux Logan Kensing Jeff Allison If it's highest cieling (I'll exclude Allison): Sanchez Olsen Volstad Petit West Johnson Hernandez Pinto Nolasco Thompson Tucker Tank Marceaux Kensing Not a bad list at all, too bad the cupboards are bare when it comes to position players (other than my new "diaper dandy" Kris Harvey).
