I'm thinking of dropping Colvin and picking up one of:
Alex Torres
Furbush
Sappelt
James Darnell
Torres was the lead prospect on BA's hot sheet so word has officially gotten out and if wasnt on anyone's radar before, he is now.
Darnell is interesting although he is in SD's farm system. So far in AA he's at 14/1 BB/K .491/.588/.811. But he cant play 3B and scouts wonder if he can hit enough to player a corner OF.
Furbush was mentioned in BA's recent prospect chat:
I'm not sure if there's room for Sappelt this season in Cin but he seems like a safe prospect, a little power, a little speed, good contact, some walks. Already in AAA so he's close.
Thoughts?

He has 27 strikeouts in just 15 1/3 innings in three starts. Torres ran into trouble against Charlotte because of four walks, but his control had been great up to that point this season. In two previous starts, he had walked only one hitter in each outing.
This is Torres' first taste of Triple-A, but he is quickly making his case to be the first Bulls' pitcher to get called up should the Rays have an opening.

I may regret omitting him from my ranking, but you're right in that Tigers Triple-A LHP Charlie Furbush has flat-out dominated this season, allowing just 12 baserunners in 16 2/3 innings to go with 21 strikeouts. The swing-and-miss stuff's there, but I guess I still have reservations about the 25-year-old's command. Last year with Toledo he got hit hard in nine starts (10.9 hits and 1.7 homers per nine innings). Soon enough we'll know which was the fluke performance, late 2010 or early 2011.
Thoughts?
