Top 10 LHP prospects# PLAYER ORG
1. Aroldis Chapman CIN
2. Mike Montgomery KC
3. Zach Britton BAL
4. Mike Minor ATL
5. Martin Perez TEX
6. Chris Sale CWS
7. Matt Moore TB
8. Tyler Matzek COL
9. John Lamb KC
10. Manny Banuelos NYY

I think Chapman is overrated. Has mechanical issues that will hold him back. Especially with the secondary pitchers.

I love Mike Montgomery but I'm a realist. He's got issues with mechanics as well and that's why he has had two arm issues. He "leaks".... but I hope the Royals fix that. I really have NO FAITH AT ALL in anything the Royals do pitching wise. They have top 10 pitchers because they drafted well. Not because they have developed them. I've dug to deep into Fischer's program to know there are to many flaws still in the organization and his pitching operation. Montgomery will be good, if he gets it fixed.

Moore, Minor, and Banuelos are underrated, although I'm not as high on Banuelos. Perez will be good again this year and I'll get to watch him in the Texas League.

Sale is overrated I think. He's on that list because he made the bigs last year.

Thoughts?

Pretty decent list; I think Duffy would be on it if he didnt step away for a year

[angels]

This list was kind of disappointing in terms of there success this season

[Ben (Rays GM)]

Matt Moore did alright

[angels]

yea, I meant the list as a whole. Mont bad. Chap control issues. Britton has struggled

[Brian (Blue Jays GM)]

Matzek tanked, he's not even considered a top 100 prospect any more, his control was AWFUL

[drewosborne]

Lamb blew out his elbow. Monty didn't do well. To many control issues.
