I can't help but notice that almost all of the pitchers you mentioned are stirking out at or near 9 per 9. I find that comforting for the future.
What I really like about this list is that a lot of the guys who are supposed to be the top prospects are actually playing like top prospects.
Buxton!
.392/.510/.684 is pretty good right?
Looks like a few promising hitters in the system.
How long until Clete is a trader to are team again?
