Minor league starter with most upside?

[Dtwncbad]

Which Angel minor league starter, within a year or so from reaching the majors, has the most upside?

Who has the best chance of quickly delivering 165-175 innings of ERA at or below 4?

Does this guy exist in the organization right now?

Canning, then Sandoval, then Barria, then Suarez, then Hernandez. That's the MLB/AAA/AA depth we have for now. 

Give it a year and we'll have Chris Rodriguez, Jose Soriano and Hector Yan in AA though. Maybe even a first round pick from this upcoming draft if things shake out right. Some college starter with big upside staying on the board until the 10th pick happens occasionally.

Forget Barria and Suarez, they are five inning pitchers who give up too many baserunners. Sandoval has some promise but needs to greatly improve his command. I hope that Callaway can help the whole staff be more efficient.

Chris Rodriguez.

What about the 19 year old with the K name? Kochanwicz

Guys, he said highest upside for a starter within a year of reaching the majors. 

Rodriguez, Soriano, Kochanowicz are all know than a year off.

If it's highest upside in general, there's some debate but what I'm told of Kochanowicz and what I know and have seen of Rodriguez and Soriano, the order goes.... Kochanowicz, Soriano, Rodriguez. But that may only be because I haven't seen enough of Rod yet. What I have seen, there's no way I rank him over Soriano in upside. Not close. But if I see him more this next year, maybe my mind will change.
