SP vs RP Prospects - who sticks in starting?

Recommended Posts

OK, here's the exercise. Take this list of the current pitching prospects in the system (these are our T30 plus a few names just outside it), and make your best guess on if they are a starter or reliever long-term. Obviously this ASSUMES they make it to the higher levels or majors at all, for the purpose of this exercise....

 

Here's the list of names. I'll put my predictions in the next post...

 

Carlos Rodon

Frankie Montas

Tyler Danish

Spencer Adams

Chris Beck

Jordan Guerrero

Jace Fry

Myles Jaye

Luis Martinez

Nolan Sanburn

David Trexler

Andre Wheeler

James Dykstra

Andrew Mitchell

Thad Lowry

Brian Clark

Yency Almonte

Aaron Bummer

 

I'm leaving off guys that the org has just plain said they are a reliever (i.e. Wendelken, Hansen, etc.). GO...

I was just curious, what makes you see Thad Lowry as a reliever?

Elite fastball, minimal development of anything else yet. He's still young so I am by no means sure about that... just would have thought one of his secondaries would start to pop out by now. Maybe it is and I haven't seen or heard about it yet.
