Diamond vs Liriano and others
How would you guys rank the following elite minor league arms? I'm learning more about Liriano thru John's site and my own research, but wouuld love to know more. With a minor league draft upcoming (Scoresheet), I'd be interested to hear opinions. I currently own Felix, Niemann, Durbin, Maine and McGowan, and would like to add a potential # 1 caliber arm to the mix.
Diamond, TEX
Liriano, MIN
Lester, BOS
Sowers, CLE
Sanchez, BOS
Many Thanks,
Bob

hmmmmm
I'd take out durbin
given what you have
I'd go:
Liriano
Sanchez
Diamond
Lester
Sowers
Highest ceiling to risk payoff I think given that probably 2 of your current arms will pan out to be #2 or 2.5 starters at the least with a pretty good chance for at least one number 1 (Felix obviously if something doesn't snap, Niemann's hurting so...). I debated moving Diamond to 5th due to the MLB park, in a more nuetral park less questions. I think his upside is that high. None of those picks would be bad at all.
Diamond and Liriano
As John always says, AA is a key test. We'll see how Diamond handles it when he get promoted.
Thoughts
Diamond, TEX
Liriano, MIN
