When you are referring to the potential aces in the making, are you talking about Oliver and Paxton? Skaggs may not have an ace ceiling, and while Oliver and Paxton have high ceilings, a 5+ ERA in college is not a great indicator of future success.

He's likely gone before the Yankees pick. Trout seems to be a consensus first-round guy at this point, and possibly in the top 20. He’s likely gone before the Yankees pick.

I'm surprised you like Heathcott that much. To me, he projects to be some as some mix of Brett Gardner and Austin Jackson--really speedy with great defense and 12-15 HR power. Of course, that's nothing to sneeze at, but when you've got with a potential ace in the making in the pitchers you mentioned, I think you've gotta go with them. I like the piece, Eric.
