David Price on that list, but for the future i would go with Brett Cecil over Price (no homer)

[todu82]

4 Good Pitchers there, here's how I'd rank them:

1) Price
2) Bucholz
3) Hughes
4) Romero

[Gigantes4Life]

I'd say Romero, although I don't think it will be long before he is surpassed by Price.

[AllTimeBest]

Jon Lester please

[papipapsmanny]

Yea jon Lester is the best young pitcher in the AL east, unless 26 is old

[Gigantes4Life]

I think he didn't include him because he's more proven and then this wouldn't be a discussion.

This.

Ya its absolutely Jon Lester, its probably a Rays fan wanting to show the have better "young" pitchers.

[papipapsmanny]

Really can't tell. Its kind of annoying that the Sox drafted 2 of these guys and only have 1 (They failed to sign Romero)

[Tehjosha]

Price is at the top of the list, but I will echo the sentiments of "Where is Jon Lester?".

[nyyfan4life]

I think he didn't include him because he's more proven and then this wouldn't be a discussion.

Bingo!!

[Gigantes4Life]

I'm a bit curious, how can David Price be above Romero? If we're looking at performance only, none of these guys have matched Romero's production. Price has accumulated 3 WAR in his career so far while Romero stood at 2.7 last year and will easily surpass that this season.

I understand Price's potential, but he really hasn't been "better" than Romero.

[Shadee]

My boy David Price for sure! But their all gonna be good.

[Swashcuff]

David Price... and he he's yet to reach his full potential. I think his ceiling is higher than all the other pitchers mentioned.
