I like Boyle more than Abbott

What I like is the upside at the bottom of the list.
Bonnin and Roa are both good prospects.
Time was, Ivan Johnson would have been a top 10 guy expected to be a starter as early as next season. (And make no mistake, Johnson has some Brandon Phillips to his game offensively. Defensively, notsomuch.)
Siani and Nelson look like depth pieces who could turn into second-division starters. Both have high floors.
Stoudt and Boyle have ridiculous stuff and could be (if everything goes right) dominant SP. Most likely, both have the stuff to be closers-in-waiting.
That's typically a list of prospects from about four to eleven.

10. Abbott
After that I'd really have to think about it. The system is as stacked as I can remember from AA through rookie ball.

Baseball America updated their lists too. Be interesting, if anyone has access, to see who they list.

Boyle is the hardest prospect in the system to rank. On one hand you look at the 7+ BB per 9 and think this guy has no clue where the ball is going and is a major project. Then on the other hand you see 14.7 K/9 and a ridiculous 3.4 H/9. I'm still taking a wait and see approach, but I have a hard time seeing him sticking as a SP if the walks don't come down by a decent amount.
I think Boyle's an effecitve clean inning late inning relief arm at worst, at this point. (Assuming health and a modicum of development.)
Abbott is too hittable by half and has had major issues with his own control. He's a control pitcher that doesn't do control all that well. (Or at least that's who he's been in AA.)
