An interesting selection - Andoh is just becoming a starter (two matches) and Micelli so far has proven to be an embarassment.

I heard today, Tuesday, April 19, 2005 at 1500, Dan Miceli was released from the Giants.
IIRC, 2 blown saves, poor 1 inning of work in his 3 games with the Kyojin. Reminds me of his last two performances in the 2004 NLCS!

The top five on this list have the stuff to pitch in the Majors, if given an opportunity. I can't wait to see Matsuzaka make it in a few years.

I agree. The top five have the stuff to pitch in the majors, but by the time they are eligible to go to the majors they more than likely won't be as good as they are now. It's too bad the system isn't different. There are several players that could fare well if they got a shot in the majors. That includes some of the foreign pitchers in the league.

Uehara

I heard that Uehara will be a free agent this year and coming to MLB for 2006. Is that true?

Isn't there any more opinions about the top 20 or 10 pitchers? I will like to hear some more.

Personally, I think the top five are Matsuzaka, Uehara, Igawa, Iwakuma, and Kawakami. They stand by far from the others.
1. Matsuzaka
2. Uehara
3. Kawakami
4. Igawa
5. Iwakuma
6. Wada
7. N. Shimizu
8. H. Kobayashi
9. S. Watanabe
10. Fujii
11. Sugiuchi
12. R. Igarashi
13. Kudoh
14. Iwase
15. Kuroda
16. Arakaki
17. Mise
18. H. Ishii
19. D. Miura
20. Kawashima
The rankings are pretty random.

I like Tsuyoshi Wada and Nagisa Arakaki. Let's not forget them.
