I was reading some quotes from MLB.com guys this morning and this is the general consensus on the two pitchers.

Appel is the most sure thing MLB ready, face of the franchise top player, but Gray has the higher ceiling.

Appel has been good longer...Gray kind of came from nowhere this year. I think the top two pitchers to start the year were Appel and Manea but gray came on super strong. Which is the only hang up i have about gray. For expecting to be the face of staff i personally would like to see a longer body of work.

Side question for cubs fans...with manea being avalible in the 2nd round now...do the cubs go after him with the #2 pick and hope the downslide this year was part of the ebb and flow and not a decline to mediocrity?

I would agree with this. Appel could be one that is up in the big leagues next season.

Samardzija
Garza
Wood
Appel

They will trade him, but Feldmania would make that one of the better rotations.
