Mainly I wanna see how good people think Hernandez, Duke, Francoeur, etc. will become down the road. I think those three are gonna be studs, IMO.

Felix Hernandez will be a fine one after he blows out his elbow.

My choices:
Francoeur and Dan Johnson(homer pick)
IF healthy (of course, you have to assume that in these threads), Hernandez is a potential 300 win 5000 K type player, and those numbers could easily be exceeded. Duke is a staff ace for several seasons for some team, and Haren will be one of the best #3s in baseball for Oakland for a while. I don't think Francoeur will live up to the numbers he's putting up. Tadahito Iguchi (rookie by a technicality!) should be a solid #2 hitter for a few years for the White Sox.
5000 strikeouts? Cute.
You'll be lucky if Felix pitches 10 years. These new-age pitchers tend to not pitch too long (or too often).

Uh, more relevantly, Hernandez has terrible mechanics, and a Seattle team with a history of killing young pitchers. Ryan Anderson, anyone?
Or getting rid of them.
Freddy anybody?

Nick Swisher looks real good now that he's in the thick of things.
Zach Duke is going to make a nice piece for Oliver to follow.

Oops. I meant 3000 K I think (whichever one Maddux just got). Sorry about that.
3000..

Heh, Anderson was the best thing that could've happened to Felix. The M's took an ultra-cautious approach with Felix, shutting him down at times during the season, and rarely letting him pitch more than 6 innings. He is on a strict pitch count and will probably be shut down and sent to the pen in a few weeks. And the M's won't even let him bust out the slider in a game until '07, at the earliest.
We'll see.
Just to let you know Felix is making 9 more starts this season. Hes not going to the pen. Its announced by Grover on www.tribnet.com

I'll believe it when I see it, Bavasi is not going to let him put that many innings on his arm, knowing that he'll still play in that Carribean league or whatever it is this winter.
He still is all ass and elbows in his delivery.
