Best young pitcher?? - bennyfunk - 02-01-2012
ESPN.com baseball writer Dave Schoenfield recently posted a poll asking baseball fans which young pitcher they'd want anchoring their rotation for the next 5 years: Matt Moore, Yu Darvish or Strasburg?
Obviously this is a question based on projection of talent and not payroll considerations, as Darvish is making a substantial amount more than the others... so I ask: Which of these young pitchers would you want as your front-line starter for the next 5 years and why?

I wish I could answer this question after this season. Each guy has a very limited or nonexistent MLB tack record. It would come down to Moore or Strasburg for me. I'd like to see how Stras' elbow holds up and if he can maintain his controll this season. I'd also like to see how well Moore can handle a full season's workload and if he will be able to adjust to major league hitters after seeing them multiple times. The second half of Moore's season will be key in my mind. (Think Pineda's 2nd half last year) If I had to pick one right now, it would be Moore. If he stays healthy and continues to be dominant, I'll say Strasburg at this time next year.

Well the expectations for starsburg have been to the ceiling so I think people expect him to live up to what he was projected to be. Itll depend on how his elbow is after surgery. As a phillies fan I dotn want him to beat up on us lol
