Rashad Crawford and Bijan Rademacher have been added. You can vote for one or two guys and can change your vote.

I went Hudson and Vogelbach. I wish there was a way to rank the guys you vote for because I like Hudson better. I guess I could just go back and vote just for him.

 

I love the start Vogelbach is off to in AAA and he's a good hitter period. But Hudson's upside is so great and Vogelbach's only hope is to be a DH. Hudson just threw 3 innings of no hit, no walk ball with 4 strikeouts and 4 ground ball outs in an extended spring training game against the Angels. AZ Phil had some nice things to say.

 

As far as ceiling goes I'd put him above Pierce Johnson and right up there with Underwood. Vogelbach is just so limited defensively, he has to hit and hit for power. So far the power is a bit lacking.

Hudson

 

Clifton. He's young, 20, and he combines good/plus fastball with strikeout stuff. Consistency and control are the issues. His first two starts haven't been encouraging. But at this stage in the ranking, and given how small the sample is thus far this season, I think it's reasonable to consider him, based on his relatively high ceiling.
