May 15, 201510 yr OK, here's the exercise. Take this list of the current pitching prospects in the system (these are our T30 plus a few names just outside it), and make your best guess on if they are a starter or reliever long-term. Obviously this ASSUMES they make it to the higher levels or majors at all, for the purpose of this exercise.... Here's the list of names. I'll put my predictions in the next post... Carlos Rodon Frankie Montas Tyler Danish Spencer Adams Chris Beck Jordan Guerrero Jace Fry Myles Jaye Luis Martinez Nolan Sanburn David Trexler Andre Wheeler James Dykstra Andrew Mitchell Thad Lowry Brian Clark Yency Almonte Aaron Bummer I'm leaving off guys that the org has just plain said they are a reliever (i.e. Wendelken, Hansen, etc.). GO...

May 15, 201510 yr Starters: Carlos Rodon Tyler Danish Spencer Adams Jordan Guerrero James Dykstra Thad Lowry
May 15, 201510 yr Carlos Rodon - SP Frankie Montas - RP (elite closer) Tyler Danish - SP Spencer Adams - SP Chris Beck - Initially a SP but quickly moves to the bullpen Jordan Guerrero - RP (potential as a filthy late-inning guy) Jace Fry - SP Myles Jaye - AAAA Luis Martinez - too early to tell, needs a lot more development Nolan Sanburn - RP David Trexler - RP Andre Wheeler - RP James Dykstra - AAAA Andrew Mitchell - RP Thad Lowry - SP Brian Clark - RP Yency Almonte - too early to tell, needs more development Aaron Bummer - who???
May 16, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (RegionSox @ May 15, 2015 -> 04:30 PM) I was just curious, what makes you see Thad Lowry as a reliever? Elite fastball, minimal development of anything else yet. He's still young so I am by no means sure about that... just would have thought one of his secondaries would start to pop out by now. Maybe it is and I haven't seen or heard about it yet.
