Not terribly encouraging. No immediate help which explains all the two year contract for mediocre players. They just can't afford to look like they aren't at least trying to be competitive.

With the current exodus at AM 1270, he's one of the more enjoyable people to listen too. Too bad he didn't have a regular daily show.

A guy that has pitched at a high level for three years in Division I, let alone in a top conference such as the ACC, has essentially already pitched his way past rookie ball and low-A (and I would even argue he has passed A-ball completely). Sleeth is more polished than perhaps even Baugh, and with no inury history. I expect him to move quickly to (and through) Erie, and though Baugh will beat him to Detroit, I personally expect more from Sleeth.

If you're looking for guys with the highest ceiling, I don't see anyway to disprove that Sleeth doesn't have the highest potential. Mostly, because he hasn't pitched in the system yet and given us any reason to doubt. I don’t have a problem with Sleeth being number one either.
