[Rico The Retard]

la's probably has more potential

A few other ones to keep in mind

Felix Hernandez / Clint Nageotte from Seattle
Dustin McGowan / Francisco Rosario from Toronto
Brandon McCarthy / Kris Honel from the White Sox

I still have some faith that Kip Wells may learn to pitch rather than try n strike everyone out. If that happens I like the upside of the Ollie Perez Kip Wells duo.

i personally like the phillies duo but the mariners duo could be awesome in a couple of years as well......

Dustin McGowan / Francisco Rosario from Toronto

McGowan is a great prospect - too bad that he just had Tommy John surgery

Rosario is not much of a prospect - Jason Arnold is farther ahead of him on the depth chart.

What about Gustavo Chasin (sp?) and McGowan or Arnold?

[Tavish]

Didn't McGowan have TJ pretty early in 2004? At least I'm hoping so, I held onto him in my keeper expecting him to be ready at some point in 2005.

As far as Rosario goes all the guy needs is some semblance of control and I think he could make an impact in the majors. He might not be quite as ready for the majors as Arnold but has a much higher upside IMO.

He had the TJ in May they don't expect him to make it to the majors next year and have him scheduled to start in A and get to AA by June.

Isn't TJ like and ACL where they say it pushes you back 2 years?

But don't overlook Chacin.

In AA AAA and MLB last year he went 19-3 with a 2.57 ERA as a 23 yr old.

As I said in another thread, he relies on a cutter as his out pitch and doesn't have overpowering velocity, so ML hitters may figure him out. Still, he has remarkable control and poise and they just may not figure him out, at least not completely.

No. It probably varies by case but T.J. recovery is normally one-year and they can start soft-tossing after 4 months.

Kyle Davies / Dan Meyer is my personal favorite.
