Chris B Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Well I thought we could get some varied results here. I would have to say Royce Ring followed by Olivo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Well I will say Jon Rauch and Kris Honel. Those two are going to be stud starting pitchers, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbaho-WG Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 On stuff alone it's Diaz easily. I'd say our best position prospect who hasn't reached the majors would have to be Hummel. Best pitcher is Diaz or Honel. In two years I'd expect a rotation of: Buehrle (Resign em!) Honel Diaz Rauch Garland /me spazms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 19, 2002 Share Posted October 19, 2002 Diaz is amazing as long as his arm stays healthy. The guy has absolutely sick stuff. I get excited everytime I think about that pitching staff. Those guys aren't overhyped, when it comes to honel and Diaz or Rauch. The thing is we need Garland to get settled and Rauch to get settled by the time Diaz and then Honel hit the rotation that way we have 3 solid starters with 2 younger guys, even though all 5 are young.

Cerbaho-WG Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Rauch will be fine. He should regain his 2000 form next year. I think since Nardi is gone, Garland will improve immensely. Add to the fact that you have Diaz, Honel, and Stewart, Malone, etc. makes it gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike South24 Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 I'd say Honel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 Originally posted by Mike South24I'd say Honel. Great minds think alike I'm pretty confident that Honel will turn heads the same way Buehrle did as long as they don't rush his development. And let's not forget South's ability to judge talent. He was jocking Crede earlier than anyone I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 I think Rauch and Honel are guys that will just burst onto the scene cause they both flat out know how to pitch and have good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike South24 Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Originally posted by ChisoxfnI think Rauch and Honel are guys that will just burst onto the scene cause they both flat out know how to pitch and have good stuff. I hate to say it, but Rauch reminds me of a real dumbass. He might have a hard time "learning how to pitch" . Rauch is lost once he releases the ball. He never knows where to be on a play. Just reminds me of a real dumbass. I hope i'm wrong. How can you not like a 7ft. tall pitcher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 He may be foolish, but I love how easy it is for him to jam hitters and get guys out. His curve is filthy and his fastball is avg, but the key to him will be to continue working on developing a change and his slider as well as getting his velocity back.

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 i will go against the odds here and put almonte as my guy.....of course olivo always takes the top honors but can we really call him a prospect anymore???? and cant call valentine a prospect can we??? i will also take aaron miles......if we can make some room up here for him he will blaze the field one of these days.......so i take miles and almonte....but i would rather be able to pick olivo and valentine..........

soxfan420 Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Rauch just need to add some veloscity to his fastball. and randy johnson had control problems to when he was young when you have to pitch at a downward angel to batters because of how tall you are.

Chisoxfn Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I don't think height has to do with the control problems I think with Randy Johnson it had to do with his odd delivery and the fact that for a long time he never could get a consistent release point.
