That's as amazing as BBA's improvement. (Maybe that's a big part of it; probably they don't put single-A pitchers in the top 10 any more, like they did with Ryan Anderson and Brien Taylor and Todd Van Poppel.)
Great read Mo' Dawg. You shoulda put that on the front page. Maybe you still should?

And yet, you do agree with James' "two ML start filter" ... or no? Maurer's rocky start, vs. Pineda's immediate success at the ML level, what are your thoughts on that?

Still, it is clear, THE PITCHER HOLDS THE BALL as Griffey used to put it. If a pitcher is dealing in the high minors (AA/AAA), and he's got the weapons as Pineda, Lincecum, Verlander etc did, there is no reason he can't get ML hitters our.
K-Pax and Taijuan, I don't know how you watch them, and fail to sign off on their "weapons."
