No, this is not a "Who Should I Draft?" poll. I'll explain why I'm seeking opinions after a few responses. Explaining upfront might skew the results. For now, I'll say I'm curious which pitcher owners would prefer and why.

Both pitchers are 18 years old and right-handed, and these are current ratings:

Pitcher	Dur	Hlth	Mkup	Stm	Cnt	vL	vR	Vel	G/F	1	2	3	4	5
A	30	78	78	39	43	50	50	34	38	72	58	30	38	20
B	27	82	92	63	45	37	53	33	33	62	55	43	23	0

UPDATE 4/23, 9:42 p.m.: I selected both pitchers in the same draft. Pitcher A was a 1st-round pick (23rd overall), and Pitcher B was a lottery ticket ("not scouted well enough") taken in the 25th round (832nd overall). I was just curious how others might compare the two. Thanks for the responses.

Can't find the thread, but there's one a while back with a list of a bunch of studs across leagues that were picked up in late rounds because apparently everyone's scouts missed them and they just happened to be scooped up after owners scouted draft pools were exhausted. Makes you wonder if a bad draft year was just a year where everyone's scouts missed a stud or two and he wasn't scooped up by anyone by sheer luck.

IIRC one guy was a 97 OVR HoFer take in something like the 20th round.
