Hey everyone! I'm currently doing research for an article for the Snakepit that compares the top pitching prospects in the NL West. I figure the best way to get some more information is go ask some padres fans. According to Baseball America, Mat Latos is your number one pitching prospect. I need to know more about him, since I don't know anything about him other than his stats. How hard does he throw? What pitches does he throw? What are his strengths? What are his weaknesses? From an objective standpoint, what do you think his ceiling is? The more information I have, the less bias i'll have in the rankings. And no, I don't think Jarrod Parker is the best pitching prospect in the West. I'd have to say Bumgarner takes the cake right now. thanks in advance everyone, I eagerly await your answers.
