2009 Draft: Fall Positional Rankings (Pitchers)
By Nick James
We finish our positional round-up with the pitchers in the 2009 draft class.
Our Fall 2008 coverage of the 2009 Draft Class (which has stretched to the
Winter) will conclude with our Top 100 which will publish sometime next week.
Of all the groups we’ve discussed, this is the most volatile with the
highest likelihood for change over the course of the next six months. In
fact, even more so than the other eight positions we encourage you to view
this Top 40 as a general list of amateurs to keep an eye on during the Spring
seasons. With that in mind, we fully expect Stephen Strasburg to be the first
off the board this June. A special talent with electric stuff and an elite
fastball, an argument can be made that he would have gone 1:1 last year had
he been eligible as a sophomore. Our individual scouting reports will likely
begin in February, so keep the draft-related questions coming
