Three Young Lefties

I was looking at these three young lefties that debuted this season. Out of the three, I think I like John Danks going forward a little more than the other two. I was wondering how the folks here would see it, so up goes a poll.

 Danks is ahead of the other two as far as major league time, but Patton and Morales made some solid contributions whilst getting their feet wet. Heck, Morales is gonna pitch in a World Series this year.

Poll

I think
Morales has the most upside by a lot. Danks is the safest imo. I'm not a Patton fan but he'll an avg #4 I think.

if morales
hits his ceiling he should be a future ace. If not he should still be a solid #2-3. Danks should be a #3, and that is what i think the best case scenario is for patton, otherwise a #4 type.
Babe Ruth and Travis Snider back to back!!!

largely agree
except, i think a best case scenario for Danks could see him as a decent 2 ...
