well... I think Chuck James could do some good things this year if he starts, he didn't look bad in relief earlier this year...though maybe he's not 'premiere'
Hayden Penn should get called up soon for Baltimore, his numbers from his 3 (?) starts last year in Baltimore shouldn't effect how he does this year and he is a stud...
I think Jeremy Sowers will get a callup the next time the Indians need a SP, after Carmona screws up his next start (again), he has had good numbers at AAA this year (I think) and he will have a great offense scoring runs (which should help him get wins)

Ah Neimann, heck i wish he would pull a Cole Hamels and storm into the majors. But it's hard to say right now, I believe he is expected back in a month or so and it should be easier to tell then. His stuff and control need to come back for him to be the pitcher most thought he would be.
On Davis, man if he could just get the walks down. He is dominating Low A and could prolly even pitch well in High A right now, but he won't get past that till he can improve his control. He has the stuff to be a top pitching prospect, he is just raw and needs more time.
Hybrid,
I'm curious why you see Hamels as a back of the rotation starter? His ERA in about 200 innings in the minors was 1.40 with 230 K's. Those are round numbers but I'm pretty sure they are accurate. He has a solid fastball for a lefty in the 91-93 range, a solid curve and a plus fastball.

He's talking about Jason Hammel, who is pitching in AAA right now in the Tampa Bay system. Not quite the prospect that Cole Hamels is.
How about Dustin McGowan, he used to be a top prospect, I think he went back to the minors to become a starter again. Could take the place of Josh Towers.
Anibal Sanchez, I would rank him ahead of Petit and anything could happen with the Marlins.
Craig Hansen next year when Papelbon becomes a starter.

Cesar Carrillo
Dustin McGowan is not projected to be an Ace type.
Nor is Sanchez, neither Olsen or Josh Johnson made the list and Sanchez is a step below those 2 but I like him better than Petit.
Hansen is a RP, we are talking about SP here.
No idea who Carrillo is...Fill me in?
