Thought I would post it up for any other Skaggs/Dbacks fans out there. Released last night...

I was intrigued by the Dan Haren comparison...

"[Skaggs is] the same package," Dipoto said, "we believe we traded for last year: fastball mostly 89-93 [mph] with excellent downhill plane, curveball a swing-and-miss type pitch and the change-up has come along quite a bit."

The D-backs trades have really been working out as of late....

Skaggs and Ian Kennedy are studs!

Agreed! Kennedy has been producing quality starts all year long. I'm sure Skaggs and Bauer will do that same next year :)

Lets not forget the massive potential that is Daniel Hudson.

Very good call on that. D-backs have done an amazing job of scouting and developing these guys!

Their current rotation isn't too shabby: Kennedy, Hudson, Saunders, Collmenter, Miley

Their farm team is even more impressive: Skaggs, Bauer, Parker, Bradley, Corbin, Brewer and also a solid closer in Kevin Munson

I have a lot of faith in Hudson. He can go late into games. His WHIP and K/BB resemble a more polished pitcher (his stats are somewhat comparable to Gallardo, with less strikeouts and less walks). Oh and he is arguably the best hitting pitcher in baseball. Obviously he needs to work on some things, but for his first full season, he is doing very well. I can't wait to see him in the playoffs. Hopefully pitching over 200 innings won't kill his arm.

Someone might want to introduce the person who wrote that article to Jarrod Parker.

The DBacks farm is looking pretty darn promising. They are right up there with the Rangers, Rays, etc for top farm system IMO.
