John K— Remember the words of wisdom from BP: TINSTAAP, or There Is No Such Thing As A Pitching Prospect. That’s not to say that great, projectable arms don’t exist, but that there are plenty of ways for them to go wrong, even after they make it to the bigs. That said, Latos has got some skills. As you say, just don’t overbid. I’ll add Drew and Jones to my list, though Mike Silver did a very nice piece on Jones that I largely agree with (though I disagree that he’s a “great sleeper candidate, since he’s on so many owners’ radars): http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/fantasy/article/player-profile-garrett-jones/ But I’ll add my .02 on both of them. Thanks for the comments! Mike Posted 11/20 at 02:42 PM

Rookie pitchers are my fantasy kryptonite. I fell so in love w/Latos when he was pitching here in Eugene two years ago. Hopefully your words of caution will keep me from over-bidding this year.
Thanks for being a good sport by doing Zimmermann. It seemed like when he arrived everyone was saying what a stud he was likely to be, but I hadn’t heard much about him before this year.
I need to go back and make sure I"m not requesting a dupe, but I have a few suggestions: Stephen Drew and his vanishing power act. He appears to have regressed so hard vs. lefties
Garrett Jones. I read the blurb on Oct 2, but I was hoping for a look into next season. No question that the power is legit, but I see Bill James doesn’t believe his 2009 OBP/BB% improvement.
Thanks again
