You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I don't agree that either Battenfield or Pilkington are a step above dumpster dives. There's some upside to both of them that neither Morgan or Scott have in my view. I would lump all of LT Allen, Burns, Battenfield, Pilkington, Nikhazy, and Mace together as possible MOR SP. Espino and Williams are in a class by themselves as TOR candidates. The power arms of Hankins, Vargas, and Torres could prove to be TOR possibilities when they return to full health. I have to say that Morris intrigues me. I wouldn't put him in the same category as Espino or Williams, but he definitely has #2 upside.
I feel like Morgan and Scott have a better floor than some of the other names you mentioned. Nikhazy doesn't have much of a different profile than Morgan honestly either. He's a small guy who really knows how to pitch but doesn't throw hard.
Mace from his profile needs the most time, so my opinion him and Pilkington are BOR at the current moment with a chance to get to MOR. Williams is another I am not 100% sold on yet, since he really only had one successful college season, but in time I think the tools are there to at least be a MOR if not more... Battenfield is another I think is a MOR, I dont know if his stuff translates to TOR, but I think his floor is really good, so its very unlikely he fails to pitch in the pros... Allen Jr and Burns have a similar profile to each other in a sense to be. Both guys are smaller, but know how to pitch and likely will make the pros baring injury.. Espino is the best of the bunch, but he still has some work to do before his floor is at MOR level (which in our system, he should get to at least MOR if not TOR).
What I like here is the fact that we have a ton of guys who all likely will hit BOR levels at the minimum baring injuries...
Going into 22 our depth chart for SP is pretty much like this in my mind, you can tell me yours as well
1-5, Bieber, Civale, Plesac, Quantrill, TMac
6-10 Morgan, Morris, Allen Sr, Scott, Moss
11-15 Stephan, Mejia, Hentges, Battenfield, Allen Jr,
16-20 Pilkington, Cantillo, Curry, Burns, Espino,
21-25 Torres, Wolf, Vargas, Hickman, Davenport
Williams, Nikhazy, Mace, Webb, Bibee, Leftwich, Boone, etc haven't even pitching yet in the minors so they will be behind Davenport, but I expect Nikhazy to move up quickly with any of the other high command guys since they usually have very good floors... Dion Will has done some relief work.. This isn't even including guys like Tully, Hillman, Gaddis etc if we retain them... Vargas I have down the list since 22, is when he works on strengthen and getting that arm gameshape
Also I don't see all three of the Allen Sr, Hentges and Mejia being retained as starters if we keep them all of course. Stephan will start the season as a SP in the minors... Moss has another option, so I think he will get another chance in 22...
@CATS44 You have insulted Battenfield and Pilkington btw... Battenfield is listed as our 17th ranked prospect via MLB.com above Morris (24th).. I really don't think he's a dumpster dive type of player honestly. Pilkington to me isn't a high ceiling guy, but he would be ranked way higher in a non-pitching factory type of organization...
Edit... ummm can Zimmer pitch? His brother can so maybe we can make him into a mix of Otani and Gose...
