Top Pitchers in the Minors

Gavin Floyd

A great young pitcher with a great fastball.  Floyd is quickly moving though the Phillies system.  A future 1 or 2 starter has looked good so far in spring training.  

Zack Greinke

The best left-handed pitcher in the minors.  Greinke could be Kansas Cities number one starter by 2005.  

John VanBenschoten

John is a pitcher for the Pirates originally a two way player during college at Kent State.  He led the league in home runs and most teams saw him as a hitter.  But, good thing for Pirate fans the Bucs saw him as a pitcher.  He will be in Pittsburgh be late 2004.

Scott Kazmir

Drafted out of high school by the Mets.  His great stuff (curve and slider) could get him a spot in the Mets rotation by 2005.  Many scouts project himas a number 1 or 2 starter.

Bryan Bullington

First pick in the 2002 draft out of Ball State by the Pirates.  He may be a a second or third starter.   Drafted over the highly touted shortshop B.J. Upton he has high expectations to livee up to.
