Who is the next Mike Wacha or next Sonny Gray??? what team has one?

[Big Bear]

I'm talking a flame throwing pitcher with an ungodly breaking ball like these 2 young studs...

Does anybody know about a pitcher on the come up who will make a big splash in the 2014 MLB season?

I know about the Japanese Cy Young Tanaka ... but who else?

also any word on who is going to snag Tanaka?

[BigDeem5]

Danny Salazar.

[tatddy]

Archie Bradley and Taijuan Walker have a decent shot to contribute right away

[Chi_archie]

Look for Jamison Tallion near June for the Pirates, he has unreal stuff

like the other guys mentioned, 90% of the time teams won't break camp with their studs, so that the organization can avoid paying them arbitration a year earlier and maintain the maximum amount of ownership of a prospect.

true + its good to bring them up midway thru the year as a secret weapon for the playoff run..

that way teams don't have a good scouting report on them or atleast they havent faced them many times.

[Initiative]

Tony Cingrani (LHP) Cincinnati Reds
Cory Luebke (LHP) San Diego Padres
Brandon Beachy (RHP) Atlanta Braves
Chris Archer (RHP) Tampa Bay Rays

[bobby heenan]

lucas giolito

[freeVICK]

cingrani or cole

[Big Bear]

cingrani or cole

no i was refering to farm systems.

i wanna know who has the best kept secret potential ace wise. Guys that havent made it to the big leagues yet.

The whole world knows about Cole. But yes he is on that same level with Gray and Wacha

[easyliving]

Noah Syndergaard

[lunch]

aroldis chapman if dusty will let him start

[bubblebuttluv]

My Yankees will snatch up that Japanese guy.

Last year was a fukking embarrassment and the Bronx Bombers won't tolerate that shit again.

I'm ashamed that the Yankees as a whole couldn't give Rivera and Pettite a better final season.

[Chi_archie]

Possibly Tyler Glasnow as a Sept roster expansion call up to man the Pen for the Pirates in their stretch run towards 100 win season

but more likely he'll be a 2015 kid

[stevenash]

Tony Cingrani (LHP) Cincinnati Reds
Cory Luebke (LHP) San Diego Padres
Brandon Beachy (RHP) Atlanta Braves
Chris Archer (RHP) Tampa Bay Rays

All but Luebke are on everyones radar already.

Beachy is filthy, thing is he can't keep healthy.

Keep an eye on Mets Syndegaard
Archie Bradley in 'Zona too.
Dylan Bundy had TJ surgery, if he's good to go, look out.

I'm hearing overrated, and will run out of gas come August.

Whose overrated? The Yankees or the Japanese guy?

If it is the Japanese guy, I can believe that. Those Tournaments in Japan where they have guys pitch multiple games day after day is brutal.

[stevenash]

Japanese guy

[SteveKerrsJunk]

Good info, gonna need to stock up on potential prospects for my keeper league when I'm in last by June.

[BennyBigNuts]

Noah Syndergaard

Probly won't happen.
After Harvey ruining his arm that fast I doubt the Mets are going to push any of the young kids no matter how bad the team sucks.
Can't wait to see him in August though.

[Big Bear]

aroldis chapman if dusty will let him start

Didn't Dusty resign?

I sure would have loved to see what Chapman could have done in that 1 game playoff vs Pittsburgh

[Big Bear]

yeah and i was thinking along the lines of Futures bets as well as guys to keep an eye on to bet on
when they make their debut.

[bobby heenan]

cant believe no one before me mentioned giolito......kid prob would have been the first high school righthander taken #1 but he missed his senior season because of elbow problems.....had tj surgery in 2012...came back last year and pitched well in limited work.....this kid compares to wacha prob better than any other pitching prospect

might be hard for him to make it to the bigs this year because the nats have alot of starting pitching.....and theyve dealt with strasburg.....but this kid has insane potential

David Clyde was a HS overall first pick, but he was LHP

Dusty got canned 5 seconds after his decision to start Cueto in that one game playoff and they lost.

guy has pitched 14 innings at low A ball. Still got A+, AA, and maybe AAA before we talk about a debut.

more like 2015 or 2016 for him

[MexicanStallion]

I'll say Robert Stephenson (Cin), but probably won't be in the majors until 2015.

[bobby heenan]

hence why i said "first high school righthander".....

dylan bundy shot from a ball to the bigs in his first full pro season....its not likely...but it isnt impossible for giolito to do the same.....again....he compares to wacha prob better than any other pitching prospect out there imo

Guys the Japanese pitcher may win cy young. His stuff is that good.

Japanese players always do well their first year in the show .
