The RHP obviously goes first. Then I'd go with LHP #1 over LHP #2.

In order, I'd got #2, #1, #3.

All are good, but the RHP is the best.

I like the RHP, LHP #2, and then LHP #1

*Edit* Looks like im prob in the minority, but I like my SP to have a high gbfb

indians... my logic was pitch quality and stamina are (much) better in LHP #1.

Results may vary. :)

I like 3, 2, 1. This is a good debate. they are all very good.

#2 is the best. Lots of stamina, the only one with very good vRH, and the most underrated thing: projected 99 makeup and 90 patience which means he has a great chance to actually hit those projections even if he gets hurt. With a good defense behind him #2 is clearly the best.

After that, #3 and then #1.

#2 is the best because of the vRH.

Yep, because there are more righties than ies.

prez has nailed this. 2 and 3 are about equal in their pitching rating projections, but 2 has better makeup, and better stamina.

I guess I'm the only one but I'd take the righty, #2, last. He's better against righties, but his splits are still a fair amount lower cumulatively than the other pitchers. He's the farthest away from his projections, along with #3. And though there are more righties, I'm not sure it makes that much of a difference. Any ies will hit him hard as that split won't likely get over 55.

I'd go with #1. Low groundball matters some depending on the park, but I've also seen guys with lower velocity have some struggles. Will have both splits over 60, projected not to have any weak pitches and 2 good ones. 20 scouting is as accurate as you can get but I'd still factor in how advanced they are. Its rare for guys drafted out of high school with a split of 40 to get it up over 60, so I see #2's y split being a problem. I have good coaches, and have never looked at patience or makeup. I haven't seen to have had a problem with guys developing despite this.

Thats just dumb..

On my teams we have faced almost 2x as many RHB than LHB.

On a side note, if one of these guys had a DUR of 20 would you write them off? There is a fourth candidate who I have not even considered because his DUR is 20, but his splits project to mid 70's, and his vel and gb is mid 80's.

In regards to your original post, you said you need an ace, none of these guys is an ace.
