Any of these worth keeping?
I just took over a team that has a number of pitching prospects and I need to see if I should cut them or if any of them have any chance to succeed?
Does anyone have any information about the following players?
Kevin Jepsen ANA
Jake Dittler CLE
Steven White NYY
Cesar Rasmos SD
Scott Tyler FLA
Any help would be great!

Size Matters?
Kevin Jepson, 22 yo, RHP, 6'3", 200 lbs. 4-4, 3.58, 50.1 IP, 34 BB, 46 K, 16 Saves for Rancho Cucamonga in High A Cal League.
Jake Dittler, 24 yo, RHP, 6'4", 200 lbs. 5-10, 4.70, 130 IP, 50 BB, 54 K. 2.41 GO/AO. AAA Buffalo.
Steven White, 25 yo, RHP, 6'5", 205 lbs. 4-1, 2.11, 68.1 IP, 28 BB, 45 K. AA Trenton an extreme pitchers league. 4-9, 4.71, 107 IP, 42 BB, 88 K. AAA Columbus. Status- reassigned to minor leagues.
Cesar Ramos, 22 yo, LHP, 6'2", 190 lbs. 7-8, 3.70, 141 IP, 44 BB, 70 K. ERA OK for Cal League, but K/IP is horrible.
Scott Tyler, 24 yo, RHP, 6'5", 210 lbs. 1-2, 3.67, 61.1 IP, 44 BB, 52 K.
Common denominators- All these guys are big. Maybe the guy who ran the team before you just liked big pitchers?
K rates are very poor in comparison to ERA. Maybe your predecessor was just so anti-sabermetrics that he chose to ignore K rates altogether?
Maybe these guys were once rated as better prospects but then stalled in their development and the guy just lost interest opening the door for you to take over?
Bottom line: There has to be better options out there now and in the future. I'd dump 'em all.
Cesar Ramos
Also, glancing at his numbers in the Cal league last year I wouldn't keep him.

Jepsen is still young, and every so often one of these super-wild guys finds some control.
