With the most recent trades, suddenly our pitching prospects are arguably the best in the League. I keep tracking of our MiLB pitchers, and factoring the new additions, I get a list of the Top 20 Pitchers currently on our farm, and the results are kind of encouraging looking forward to the future.
Now, this was not the are of improvement of the team. We've been an above average pitching team for the last 5 years at least, but is good to see that edge is not going anywhere.
Please take a look and let's discuss possible misses and take out candidates.

| 20 | Brett Hunter | Rivercats | 5 - 2 | 3,08 | 46 | 49,2 | 17 |
I ranked Cole over Parker just because of his potential, but many would argue that Parker shold be #1. Bottom line, both are projected to be front line starters on any MLB team.
