Just curious and looking for feedback. Who would you list as the top 10 pitching prospects for the Reds?
I'll throw out some names:
Stephenson
Corcino
Cingrani
Guillon
Travieso
Rogers
......
I'm kinda lost after that.
Lotzkar

Lotzkar
Drew Cisco, Sal Romano, Dan Langfield, Drew Hayes (reliever) . . .
Stephenson
Corcino
Travieso
Cingrani
Lotzkar (at the time I was only aware he hadn't had surgery after his arm injury at the end of the year, not that he was still having some issues with it. If I redid the list, he would be lower)
Rogers
Guillon
Langfield
Garrett
Diaz
My shot at it
Robert Stephenson
Tony Cingrani
Dan Corcino
Chad Rogers
Nick Travieso
Ismael Guillon
Tanner Robles
Drew Cisco
Radhames Quezada

some homorable mentions
Big arms with potential: Amir Garrett, Sal Romano
Track Records Overlooked: Pedro Villareal, Josh Smith
Interesting Relief Options: Josh Ravin, Drew Hayes, Carlos Contreras, Curtis Partch, Chris Manno
Wildcards due to health: Kyle Lotzkar, Jacob Johnson
I'm sure I missed some and need more data about recent draftees.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Moscot is the guy folks are overlooking, IMO
Radhames Quezada? What is it you like about him, mth123?

Correct. I think he could have a decent ceiling as a reliever, but as a starter he is probably a #4 with his ceiling. With that said, Villarreal is in that same group with the last two guys. Pretty interchangeable. Different pitchers with different qualities, but overall prospect wise, in that same 5 prospect range.
Mostly that he hasn't blown-up yet. The top 6 (Stephenson, Cingrani, Corcino, Rogers, Travieso and Guillon) seem like they are way above the others and the rest require some angle IMO. Quezada has an ERA of around 3.35 in over 300 minor league innings. He'll be 22 next year and ready to move up to higher levels without being too old. He made 22 starts this year and was near the 100 inning mark. He just seems like a guy who could move into the picture with a good season and beyond the top 6, they are kind of all in that same boat.

Why is Ravin a reliever if he has such good stuff? Wouldn't you keep him starting as long as possible? Wouldn't pitching more innings help him become more consistent? You can always switch him to the pen at a later date.
I didn't realize how good Langfield's line was before looking at this thread. Will he start in Dayton next year?
