My top 4 out of the current pool

Alexander Torres, Drew Smyly, Anthony Ranaudo, Casey Crosby in that order.

My suggestion to get added to the pool is Chris Dwyer…surprised he hasn’t been nominated yet.

by PrincetonCubs on Jan 19, 2026 2:14 PM EST up reply actions  

David Homberg rates highly for me

He’d only be behind Reed & 3-4 pitchers currently listed as candidates or in rotation.

Seriously, though, I have Oramas over much of the guys in the current poll.

This might be pure homerism coming from a Rockies fan

But Tyler Matzek looked awfully good at Asheville after working with his Marshall instructor, and it looked like his struggles were due almost entirely to the Rockies tinkering with his mechanics. In 41 August/September innings (after returning from the Marshall stint), for instance, he cut his BB/PA rate all the way down to ~12% while maintaining a K/PA above 25%.
The tremendous upside is still there, at least.

Tom Millone

I think the community has whiffed on Milone. This guy has the makings of a pitcher who, while never being a star, will be able to pitch in the big leagues for a long time at a mid-rotation level. I don’t think he’ll be able to post the K/9 he did in the minors, but the control is probably in the 95th percentile. The guy knows how to pitch and he’s pretty much got a job to start in 2012. Big miss IMO.

I'm just wondering.. how far are we going?

I’m sure I should know, but I at least scanned this post to make sure it wasn’t in there.

75/75/125?

The pace we are going, we might be able to get 100/100/150? I just want more Pirates in and I doubt McPherson or Allie get any love before 100, if then :P.

by McCutchenIsTheTruth on Jan 19, 2026 1:24 PM EST reply actions  

I think we're doing 75 each

I asked the same question on a previous thread

go long with extenze...i do

by angelsownredsux on Jan 19, 2026 2:01 PM EST up reply actions  

We won't get to 125 overall

for almost 2 more months. I think that is probably as far as we should push it. I wouldn’t be surprised if McPherson got into the top 75 pitchers…he’s certainly easily in mine.

by auclairkeithbc on Jan 19, 2026 2:56 PM EST up reply actions  

The

McPherson thing was more of an aside. 125 sounds good, I just wanted to know.

by McCutchenIsTheTruth on Jan 19, 2026 6:10 PM EST up reply actions  

Voting Closed

We’ll run off Barnes and Reed (even though Biddle was close too).
