I never hear about them, It's usually about (Though I don't mind in the least bit) About Sergio Santos, Conor Jackson, Quinten etc.

Who are our best pitching prospects and whats there potential?

Off the top of my head, youve got (in no particular order):

Dustin Nippert
Adriano Rosario
Bill Murphy
Edgar Gonzalez
Mike Gosling

These guys are most likely the closest to the majors, but there are plenty of others that I am sure a few other people will mention. We got to see Gonzalez and Gosling up at the majors for a while this year. Gonzalez wasnt all that great, but he's still fairly young and has plenty of time and potential. Gosling came off of surgery a year or so ago and struggled, but had a strong showing in the second half of the year. I dont know much about Murphy, we got him in the Finley trade, but Ive read that he's projected to be about a #3 starter or so. Adriano Rosario was the guy that was found out to have used an alias to appear 3 years younger. He is still waiting entry back into the country. He's a guy with tons of potential (and the ability to hit triple digits on the radar gun from what Ive heard), but there are obviously question marks surrounding his future with his fake identity deal. Dustin Nippert is also another big time guy with tons of potential but he had Tommy John surgery a few months ago and will need much more time until he is ready to go again.
