Correction: 6 months after he signs because he can then be used as a PTBNL.

I meant dozens of pitchers each year fail to play up to competition, not just dozens.

Two names on this list seem totally blown out of proportion IMO. The first one is Strasburg (oh my god someone on here thinks he shouldn’t be!). I love what the scouts are saying about him and who wouldn’t love the high ceiling, but he’s never faced professional hitters. Yes, that matters. dozens of high ceiling pitchers collapse against elevated competition after being hyped draftees. I don’t know how many MLB GM’s would consider him more valuable than all but 20 or so Major league proven/ready players. I’d guess none – that ranking is WAY off. Price is the other that I disagree with. He’s basically a 1 pitch guy. If he ever shows anything resembling a decent slider then he’d be a very good closer candidate, but those are the only 2 pitches he’s ever shown any real major league quality with. Even those two pitches have been pretty bad this year. I don’t know how you rate him above a guy like buccholz who at least HAS more than 2 pitches, and his change-up may end up being the best in the game. I think they both might have a spot on this list, but not in the 20′s – not even close.

Bonderman was traded as a PTBNL before a year from his signing date…

Where is Porcello in this conversation????? He is younger than all 3 of the above mentioned pitchers, and has just as much time under team control as Price and Hanson!!!!

And since all the way up to 6 is posted, and since we are told the top 5 are all hitters, HOW DOES PORCELLO NOT EVEN MAKE THE LIST???

Right, but Dave doesn’t seem to be holding that risk against him in anyway, as he ranks well ahead of guys who at worst have slightly lower upside, have proven more, have the same amount of team control left, and can actually be traded now as opposed to a year at best.

“True, but its value is also affected to a large degree by the risk of the price changing over the next year.”

And a similar risk exists with Strasburg.
