  1. Slim pickens. Lindlow. Swing fifth starter type. Kinda young. Probably a few lottery ticket guys still left that will our rank him by the end of next season but I don’t follow closely enough anymore to be tire a guess who those diamonds in the rough might be.

    1. Eiberson Castellano might be one of those guys, but he’s not in the poll. Agree that there aren’t any many guys that jump out at t his point; the shallowness of the system is on display.

      Maybe we get a rebound from Viars or Wilson. Maybe McGowan or Ottenbreit eventually get healthy and show something. Maybe one of the young pitchers from the last couple drafts breaks out. Plassmeyer and Sands are ML ready. I’ll go with Muzziotti even though I fear he’s going the Roman Quinn route of just not being on the field enough to develop.

  2. I still think Muzzioti has a chance to be a starting major league CF so I’m going with him. He’s missed a lot of time so 2023 will be a big tear for him. He needs to stay healthy, get to camp early and he needs to hit and steal bases. His defense is a given.

  3. McGowan for me. TJ survivor, but has real arm talent, and pedigree. Was the top JUCO pitcher in the 2021 draft.
