According to mlb.com, Muella is already our 5th ranked prospect. He has a mean fast ball, power curve and change up to round out a solid repertoire for such a young guy (22 on Sunday). He is already ranked ahead of Travieso, Crawford (acquired via Simon trade), Howard (2014 first round pick) and Reed (acquired via Cueto trade)
Duvall didn't make our top 30, but he has some power, which is nice to see for a young prospect.
I have to say, the Reds have done an excellent job converting older pitchers into young guys with years of team control left.
We got Crawford for Simon, DeSclafani for Latos, Reed, Finnegan and Lamb for Cueto, and Muella for Leake. Add Stephenson, Travieso and Howard, and we could be looking at a brand new starting rotation as early as 2017.
It's scary, considering prospects in baseball flame out so often, but it's also exciting to see which ones will become the next Cuetos and Leakes.
