SP:
Carlos Zambrano (361) - In 11 seasons Zambrano has a career record of 125-81 and an ERA of 3.60. Many people overlook these numbers due to the attitude problems he has had the last few years, but his talent is still there. Zambrano has been on fire his last few starts in Spring Training and his attitude seems to be improving. I think with Ozzie Guillen coaching him and the nice move out of Chicago he could be a changed player and maybe we can see part of the game we saw in his premier days.
Rick Porcello (505) – At only 23 years old Porcello is already in his 3rd season as an MLB starter. He has a career record of 38-30 and an ERA of 4.54. While Porcello has weak stats he was once a top prospect and has shown glimpses of his potential throughout his short career. Porcello has only had more than 100 strikeouts in 1 of his seasons so he is definitely weak in the strikeout category. While many say he was just another fluke his problem could have been forced by being brought up so early and may have caused some confidence problems. With the line-up supporting him having potential to break many MLB records he could get a lot of wins and this could boost his confidence and put him in line to finally be the player he can be.
Guillermo Moscoso (548) – Guillermo finally broke into the majors as a starting pitcher last season at the age of 27 and man did he prove he can play. In 128 innings Guillermo posted a 8-10 record and 3.38 ERA for the Oakland Athletics in 2011. He also carried a solid 1.09 WHIP for the season. The only problem with Moscoso is he isn’t too good at striking out batters, only 74 in 2011. Strikeouts aside thought Moscoso could be one of the biggest steals of the draft. After being traded to Colorado he is sure to have a slight increase in ERA, I’d put him in the mid-3.50s, but he will have a better line up supporting him and should get between 12-15 wins in 2012.
