Top 50 Pitching Prospects for 2007
1) Philip Hughes, RHP, New York Yankees
Went 5-3, 4.46 in 73 innings for the Yankees, 58/29 K/BB. Assuming good
health, he has a very very bright future.
2) Matt Garza, RHP, Minnesota Twins
Went 5-7, 3.69 with a 67/32 K/BB in 83 innings for the Twins. Now traded
to Tampa Bay. Like Hughes, assuming he stays healthy he should be really good.
3) Yovani Gallardo, RHP, Milwaukee Brewers
Went 9-5, 3.67 with a 101/37 K/BB in 110 innings for the Brewers.
Nothing to complain about here, he's really good, too.
4) Homer Bailey, RHP, Cincinnati Reds
Undone by command problems in his major league trial, with a 28/28 K/BB
in 45 innings. It all boils down to command & health. A bright future.
5) Tim Lincecum, RHP, San Francisco Giants
7-5, 4.00 in 146 innings with the Giants, 150/65 K/BB. Outstanding
stuff, will thrive if command improves a bit more.
6) Adam Miller, RHP, Cleveland Indians
4.82 ERA with 68/21 K/BB in 65 innings for Triple-A Buffalo, undone by
injuries. Health is obviously the key here.
7) Andrew Miller, LHP, Detroit Tigers
5.63 ERA with 56/39 K/BB in 64 innings. Traded to Florida. He's capable
of much better than this.
8) Mike Pelfrey, RHP, New York Mets
5.57 ERA with 45/39 K/BB in 73 innings. Command and his breaking ball
remain issues. Needs a change of scenery.
9) Clayton Kershaw, LHP, Los Angeles Dodgers
Pitched brilliantly in the Midwest League, 2.77 ERA with 134/50 K/BB in
97 innings, then held his own in Double-A. Needs better control but
tremendous stuff stands out.
10) Luke Hochevar, RHP, Kansas City Royals
Erratic season in Double-A and Triple-A, went 4-9, with 4.86 ERA but a
138/47 K/BB. Gave up 163 hits. More hittable than expected but showed good
control.
11) Eric Hurley, RHP, Texas Rangers
Combined to go 11-9, 4.00 between Double-A and Triple-A, with 135/55
K/BB in 162 innings. Still a bright future if fly ball tendencies don't kill
him in Texas.
12) Scott Elbert, LHP, Los Angeles Dodgers
Missed season with labrum injury.
13) Chuck Lofgren, LHP, Cleveland Indians
Went 12-7, 4.37 with 123/68 K/BB in 146 innings for Double-A Akron. Not
as good as anticipated, due to occasional command troubles.
14) John Danks, LHP, Chicago White Sox
Went 6-13, 5.50 with 109/54 K/BB in 139 innings for the White Sox. Paid
the price for being rushed. Should improve if he stays healthy and confident.
15) Jason Hirsh, RHP, Colorado Rockies
Went 5-7, 4.81 with 75/48 K/BB in 112 innings for the Rockies. Should
improve if he stays healthy and confident.
16) Phil Humber, RHP, New York Mets
Went 11-9, 4.27 with a 120/44 K/BB in 139 innings for Triple-A New
Orleans. Developing into an inning-eater, not an ace.
17) Franklin Morales, LHP, Colorado Rockies
Went 5-4, 3.51 with 93/58 K/BB in 113 innings between Double-A and
Triple-A. Looked very good in major league trial, with electric stuff from
left side.
18) Jacob McGee, LHP, Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Combined 8-6, 3.15 with 175/52 K/BB in 140 innings between Class A
Vero Beach and Double-A Montgomery. Solidified status as one of top southpaws
in the minors.
19) Michael Bowden, RHP, Boston Red Sox
Blitzed the Cal League, then went 8-6, 4.28 in 19 starts for Double-A
Portland, combined K/BB of 128/41 in 143 innings. A good year, but was
overshadowed by others.
20) Clay Buchholz, RHP, Boston Red Sox
Pushed past organization-mate Bowden, destroyed the minors and threw a
no-hitter in the Show. Currently the best pitching prospects in baseball.
21) Matt Albers, RHP, Houston Astros
Went 4-11, 5.86 with the Astros with a 71/50 K/BB in 111 innings. Good
stuff, command a major problem.
22) Brandon Morrow, RHP, Seattle Mariners
Unexpectedly made Mariners bullpen in spring training, posted 4.12 ERA
in 60 games but with 66/50 K/BB in 63 innings. Great stuff, but command is
shaky.
23) Wade Davis, RHP, Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Combined to go 10-3, 2.50 with 169/51 K/BB in 158 innings between Vero
Beach and Montgomery. A very fine prospect, one of many in the pitching-rich
Tampa Bay system.
24) Sean West, LHP, Florida Marlins
Season lost to labrum surgery.
25) Humberto Sanchez, RHP, New York Yankees
Blew out elbow, had Tommy John surgery.
26) Jeff Niemann, RHP, Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Went 12-6, 3.98 with 123/46 K/BB in 131 innings for Triple-A Durham.
Should be a good inning-eater.
27) Nick Adenhart, RHP, Los Angeles Angels
Went 10-8, 3.65 with 116/65 K/BB in 153 innings for Double-A Arkansas.
Should be a good inning-eater.
28) Craig Hansen, RHP, Boston Red Sox
3.86 ERA with 48/32 K/BB in 51 innings for Triple-A Pawtucket. Command
issues a big problem here, but he gets a ton of ground balls and still has a
chance to be special.
29) Donald Veal, LHP, Chicago Cubs
Went 8-10, 4.97 with 131/73 K/BB in 130 innings for Double-A Tennessee.
Mechanical breakdown hurt his command. Still intriguing.
30) Troy Patton, LHP, Houston Astros
Went 10-8, 3.51 with 94/44 K/BB in 151 innings between Double-A Corpus
Christi and Triple-A Round Rock. A solid prospect but probably won't turn
into an ace.
31) Carlos Carrasco, RHP, Philadelphia Phillies
Pitched great in A-ball, but command fell apart after promotion to
Double-A, as shown by weak 49/46 K/BB in 70 innings for Reading. Still
promising in the long run.
32) Brandon Erbe, RHP, Baltimore Orioles
Was horrible in the Carolina League due to control problems, posted
6.26 ERA with 111/62 K/BB in 119 innings. Should rebound if healthy.
33) Kevin Slowey, RHP, Minnesota Twins
Lights-out in Triple-A (1.89 ERA in 20 starts) but needed time to adjust
to the majors. If he can get the home runs under control, could be the new
Brad Radke.
34) Brad Lincoln, RHP, Pittsburgh Pirates
Blew out elbow, had Tommy John surgery.
35) Tyler Clippard, RHP, New York Yankees
Went 6-5, 4.50 with 83/47 K/BB combined between Double-A Trenton and
Triple-A Scranton. Component marks slipped, and was probably overrated at
this slot on the list.
36) Mitch Talbot, RHP, Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Horrible start hurt his numbers, but finished with a 13-9, 4.53 mark
and a 124/59 K/BB in 161 innings for AAA Durham. Still a decent prospect.
37) Glen Perkins, LHP, Minnesota Twins
Limited to 29 innings in the majors by injuries, but pitched well (3.14
ERA). Rehab work in the minors resulted in 6.52 ERA in 19 innings. A good
pitcher if healthy.
38) Sean Gallagher, RHP, Chicago Cubs
Went 10-3, 3.10 with 91/37 K/BB in 102 innings between Double-A
Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa. A solid inning-eater type.
39) Gio Gonzalez, LHP, Chicago White Sox
Posted 3.18 ERA with 185/57 K/BB in 150 innings for Double-A
Birmingham, erasing doubts following erratic '06 campaign.
40) Edinson Volquez, RHP, Texas Rangers
Rebuilt his mechanics, went 14-6, 3.67 with 186/60 K/BB in 145 minor
league innings. Great stuff, all boils down to command, just like before.
41) Matt Harrison, LHP, Atlanta Braves
Went 5-7, 3.39 with 78/34 K/BB in 117 innings. Traded to Rangers, had
some shoulder trouble but was healthy by the Arizona Fall League.
42) Chris Volstad, RHP, Florida Marlins
Went 12-11, 4.16 with 118/47 K/BB in 169 innings between Class A Jupiter
and Double-A Carolina. Remains highly projectable.
43) Will Inman, RHP, Milwaukee Brewers
Traded to Padres. Combined mark of 8-11, 3.28 for three minor league
teams with 180/58 K/BB in 159 innings. Some Double-A struggles raise doubts,
but still very young.
44) Jon Meloan, RHP, Los Angeles Dodgers
Top closer prospect posted 2.03 ERA and 91/27 K/BB in 67 innings with
20 saves in the minors. Savage slider and good fastball stand out.
45) Garrett Olson, LHP, Baltimore Orioles
Hammered in the majors, but very effective in Triple-A, 3.16 ERA with
120/39 K/BB for Norfolk. Will get more chances in the Show.
46) Cesar Carrillo, RHP, San Diego Padres
Blew out elbow, had Tommy John surgery.
47) Jimmy Barthmaier, RHP, Houston Astros
He was horrible in Double-A, 6.20 ERA with 73/44 K/BB in 90 innings,
116 hits. Was clobbered in the Arizona Fall League, too. Have to wonder if
he's healthy.
48) Joey Devine, RHP, Atlanta Braves
1.89 ERA with 78/19 K/BB in 57 innings, 20 saves between Double-A and
Triple-A. Can still be a major league closer if command and confidence hold
up.
49) Pat Neshek, RHP, Minnesota Twins
Excellent year in the Minnesota bullpen.
50) Anthony Swarzak, RHP, Minnesota Twins
Season clouded by drug suspension, but he pitched well, with 3.23 ERA
and 76/23 K/BB in 86 Double-A innings.
