Which 1-2 top prospect pitchers will be the BEST!

daveyou · Jan 27, 2012

thought id get some opinions about what the best 1-2 prospect pitching tandems are out there!

ive excluded banualos and bundy because i dont see #2 prospect pitching in their organization (which i could be wrong)

Banuelos and Bentances could make a case to be on this list.

With that said, I'd vote for Cole/Taillon although it's hard to vote against any of these tandems on this list.

Personally, based on upside, I'd give the slight edge to Bauer/Bradley over Cole/Taillon, but both are absolutely amazing!

I think Parker/Gray has to be one of the more underrated sets of pitching prospects, though.

"BEST" how?

Best card wise? always vote Yankees

Mariners - Walker and Hultzen

Danny Hultzen is going to be a can't miss, solid MLB pitcher. Walker has the crazy, All-Star Cy Young upside to cover the difference.

And of course, neither of them could perform.

Like some have said, it is hard to vote against any of these combinations. If I absolutely had to I would go with Walker and Hultzen. I like Bauer, but his motion scares me. Cole is advertised to be good, but for some starnge reason he reminds me a lot of Bryan Bullington :/

This is actually one of the tougher polls i have ever seen on here.

I will admit, I would vote for:

TYLER SKAGGS - Trevor Bauer

Or you could include all three. That Dbacks trio is insane.

Yup I'd take Skaggs over Bradley.

Agreed. I went with the Mariners, just because I would trust most any move that Jack Z. makes when it comes to talent.

Betances is a legit #2 to Banuelos' #1

No matter who is included though, i would take Hutlzen and Walker.

I just can't do it. I am not sold on Hultzen. I like Walker as well, I bought in early, like when chrome draft and sterling released. BUT, I don't see this pair in the same group as some of the others up there.

Walker is this off-seasons Prospect Pet of FCB. It happens every year. I think he is a good prospect, I do not think he is a top 15 prospect.

thanks for the votes fellas

as some stated about banualos and betances, do you feel he's a legit #2 or #3? i pegged betances at #5 at best..

i voted cole and taillon fyi

skrip, i agree that the big three of bauer, archie and skaggs is scary but i was genuinely surprised that some here would put skaggs ahead of bradley. not for arguement sake or anything like that bit i thougth bradley was the clear #2 behind bauer but ahead of skaggs.

Skaggs has been dominant for more than 2 seasons, over 4 leagues, within 2 teams. AND was the TOP PITCHING PROSPECT in two leagues last year. I think too many people are looking for the next best thing, when THE BEST THING might be right in front of you. I will take a lefty who stikes out more than 9ks/9 inn, who is durable, and has #1-#2 ability over a high school kid who has not yet thrown a professional pitch.

Track record + ceiling + projection = stud for me and an easy choice.

Shelby Miller has been given a cold shoulder because he got drunk and whooped a dude but Miller/Martinez got my vote.
