Jair Jurrjens should be on this list, imo. I'm just assuming he's under the age of 25.

i was mainly going for AL pitchers and Stras, although Stras will be in the NL. But sure, include Lincecum and rank him if you want.

Stephen Strasburg has to pitch a professional inning before being on this list. I mean, there are plenty of great college pitchers who never made the jump (most of them went to Rice it seems). I'm not saying he won't be good, but he is so far from the majors compared to those other guys as to not even be comparable.

My list:

King Felix
Price

HUGE, HUGE GAP

Joba
Buchholz
Hughes

Oh, and Zack Greinke is 25.

I'm with Baloo but I like Hughes over Buchholz and maybe even Joba.

Right now...but you can't tell me that you don't think that Felix has just as much stuff, if not more, just doesn't have Lincecum's level of polish...

I'm not disagreeing with you pertaining to Lincecum. He has a GREAT feel for the art.

And yeah, Porcello & Kershaw are gonnna be sick. It'll take time though...
