I didn't realize we had more than 1. Nonetheless, maybe a bright future. Still one problem, get some offense.
 
Hopefully none of these guys run into arm trouble. I would say Faedo is probably the most likely to hurt his arm. Throwing as many sliders as he does.

On the flip side, he could be a May 1st call up. Looks like he might be MLB ready

It's exciting to have some decent prospects. Now hopefully we develop some of them.
 
Faedo, 22, hasn't pitched in the minors yet. So his rankings are still somewhat speculative based on what he did in college.

Pitched into the 6th innings in 2017

Burrows (21) 12 of 26 = 46.2%
Perez (20) 4 of 16 = 25.0%
Manning (20) 2 of 14 = 14.3%
Faedo (22) did not pitch

None of these 4 are on the 40-man roster (requirement to pitch at MLB level, even as a late season callup). Burrows would probably be the closest, followed by Perez. Faedo and Manning are both still at least 2 years away.
