PIT #5. Rudy Owens, LHP
DOB: 12/18/87
Height/Weight: 6-3/215
Bats/Throws: L/L
Drafted/Signed: 28th round, 2006, Mesa HS (AZ)
2010 Stats: 2.46 ERA (150.0-124-23-132) at Double-A (26 G)
Best/Worst Tool: Command and control/breaking ball
Year in Review: This strike-throwing lefty continued to prove his doubters
wrong by winning the Eastern League ERA title.
The Good: With a career strikeout-to-walk rate of more than 5.0, Owens has
special command and control, but he's often incorrectly labeled as a pure
finesse pitcher. With a 90-92 mph fastball that touches 93, Owens actually
has a tick above-average velocity for a southpaw, and the pitch adds a bit
of natural sink. He keeps hitters off-balance with a solid changeup, and
because of his pitching style, he's able to pitch late into games.
The Bad: Owens' fringy breaking ball is still a work in progress, as it's
a sweeping offering between a curve and a slider that needs to get
tightened if he's to start in the big leagues.
Scouts universally see him
as a big-leaguer, but debate over his ultimate ceiling is considerable.
Ephemera: No player selected with the 830th overall pick has ever pitched
in the big leagues.
Perfect World Projection: Good fourth starter and innings eater.
Fantasy Impact: Low. While he could supply a lot of innings without
hurting your team's ERA, don't expect big win or strikeout totals.
Path to the Big Leagues: Owens will be pushed to Triple-A Indianapolis in
2011, and should make his big-league debut at some point during the year.
ETA: 2011, with a more permanent role the following year.

TOR #1. Kyle Drabek, RHP
The Good: Drabek's combination of elite athleticism, plus velocity, and
one of the best breaking balls in the prospect world gives him All-Star
potential. He throws an 89-93 mph two-seamer that he can cut or sink, and
can dial his four-seamer up to 97 when he rears back for something extra.
His over-the-top hard curveball is a plus-plus monster with plenty of
bite, and he generates as many strikeouts with it as the fastball.
Previous questions about his makeup are no longer discussed, as he came
out of Tommy John surgery with considerably more maturity and an
outstanding work ethic.
The Bad: Drabek has greatly improved his changeup, and while it projects
as an average pitch in time, it isn't quite there yet. His command and
control waver from above average to below, depending on the outing.
