i dont know why even the average fan is so gung-ho to trade for young pitching. Just a quick look at the top 5 pitching prospects in baseball every year over the last six years shows that you're more likely to get a 0 than anything valuable 2015 7 - Lucas Giolito - 10.38 era in 4 innings this year, 20 years old at A+ 10 - julio urias - totally legit 11 - noah syndergaard - just made mob debut, was good in limited AAA this year, not so much last year 15 - carlos rodon - 34 minor league innings, MLB performance yet to be seen 16 - tyler glasnow - Looks very strong in AA debut 2014 4 - Masahiro Tanaka - great, but already hurt multiple times, TJS seems like a foregone conclusion 9 - archie bradley - never harnessed his control, velocity took a step back. Succeeded early in MLB though it looks like a mirage 11 - taijuan walker- Only 22, but has been horrific this year. 12 - jon gray - Mediocre in AA, getting destroyed in AAA this year 15 - dylan bundy - now 22, pitching like 3 innings per appearance in AA 2013 2 - dylan bundy - See above 5 - jose fernandez - Already a TJS victim 6 - shelby miller - better so far this year, but looks nothing like he did in the minors. 7 - gerrit cole - looks like a hoss. 11 - zack wheeler - Pretty average in 1 1/2 years in MLB, another TJS victim 2012 2 - matt moore - Lost some of his stuff, has been average and had TJS 4 - yu darvish - Lost part of a year to injury, then had TJS 5 - julio teheran - struggled this year, but has two years of solid workhorse stuff as 22 and 23 year old 8 - shelby miller - see above 9 - trevor bauer - Average MLB results, never harnessed his control 2011 5 - julio teheran - see above 6 - jeremy hellickson - lol 6 - aroldis chapman - Great reliever 11 - jameson taillon - TJS victim 13 - shelby miller - see above 2010 2 - stephen strasburg - always right on the verge of eliteness, had TJS, has been awful this year 5 - brian matusz - LOL 9 - neftali feliz - had TJS, has been pretty lights out low-usage reliever 14 - madison bumgarner - stud 17 - martin perez - average starter, had TJS
