Baseball America has said that if Jon Garland continues his skill and development consistently for a good 4-5 years, it is very possible that he can win the Cy Young award in the future. Do you agree with this statement, or do you think he won't even be a candidate? Tell me your thoughts people.

Jon's got good stuff, but I dunno if he'll be the best pitcher in the league. You can't say that about any pitcher. how bout a link to the article?

Jon can be a very good pitcher. Anyone with a power sinker has the potential to dominate, if he keeps it down and works his curve ball in, he could be a 20 game winner. I think all he needs is improved control and he's an all-star.

Jon is a good #3 starter and will be a #2 but not a CY YOUNG

Jon Garland is still very young, and has shown glimpses of greatness. He will be a Cy Young candidate in the future, he will be the Ace of this staff if and when Mark Buerhle leaves. Hell, even if Mark doesn't leave Garland has a good chance to show him up. He has the pitches and the tools to be an all-star, and once he gains better command of his pitches he will be an all-star. In a few years Garland will be picking up 20 wins, I promise you. If Garland isn't in the front running for a Cy Young by the time he is 28 years old, then everyone on this board can kick me in my big fat ripe testicles.

He has shown signs of greatness the last 2 years. I think he could become a Cy Young contender. But that will take consistency. ONly time will tell. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

danny wright has a better chance of developing into a cy young award winner...will he???. i doubt it...i mean any starting pitcher in the majors could develop into a cy young award winner...but how many actually do???..unles youre in pedro's class there are so many things that have to go right to win a cy young...
but if i had to bet on which pitcher goes farther id take wright..cant go with the surfer boy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Garland has had some good games, ditto Wright.
Both have shown so much of the p word, potential. So much potential we better not trade either one. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Very true. Jon has the stuff. If he develops consistency, especially this season, we could be one of the only teams in baseball with 3 potential 20-game winners. |

As soon as Garland and Wright realize their potential, Buehrle, Garland and Wright will look alot like Glavine, Maddux and Smoltz.

Jon and Danny are going to be really good pitchers. So is Rauch. I'm really confident that all these guys will develop into more then just back of the end guys.

Lets hope so, cause with all the talent we have coming up we should have a damn good staff and a lot of good prosects to trade. |
