Pretty good debate. I say it's a draw. Both will get equal attention.
neither one of them are any secret, so it shouldn't be a problem talking about either guy.
can't call it a hype thread either, because by now everyone knows their names anyway.
so feel free about opinions!
we can't disclose our pick anyway till Sheets comes back in here.
Edit, new rule, you can't say "both".

I like both actually and I have an interest in both. But Porcello has four potential Plus pitches and Madison Dominates mostly with a fastball. Madison needs to develop his arsenal to maintain his success at a higher level. So with porcello having the four pitches to go to I think he has the upperhand.

One was pitching last year not able to use his Curveball.
The other doesn't have a Curveball.

Porcello. He'll have his 4 seam and best breaking ball next year, which he didn't even throw this year. He's in for a huge year. Bumgarner isn't quite as advanced as Porcello right now.

Bumgarner is better right now and will probably have a better 2009 season. Porcello has more potential and will be better in the long run. If you're talking about investment, Bumgarner is definitely the way to go right now simply because he will be a quicker flip.

ROI definitely goes to Bumgarner, lower prices right now for the most part with about the same potential to explode. I think Porcello is and wll be the better overall pitcher, but for investment it's gotta be Bummy.

I think bumgarner is better for a quick flip in a few months but if doesn't learn a breaking ball he is in trouble. Money can be made on both but madison should be a quicker flip in spring training.

If Bumgarner gets down that change up he'll be the most dominant minor league pitcher

I went with Porcello due to the word "shine." I think it's easier for a player like Porcello to "shine" more in an organization with less talent than the top tier of prospects in the Giants organization.
IE: It's a lot easier to find a diamond in dirt than to find it in a pile a quartz.

Another thing to note is that Bumgarner is possibly going to end up in the Cal League next year which will inflate his stats a bit.
