Nice list and great work on it!  

I have a few comments:

Regarding the starting pitching, while I agree it's an A, your choices of including Laffey, and especially Denham and Dittler, are debatable in my opinion.

Laffey's not bad, though I'm surprised you didn't go more with guys like Scott Lewis, Chuck Lofgren, Joe Ness, Sean Smith, etc., since you included a High-A guy like Laffey.  I think all four of them, along with Jensen Lewis, may have higher upsides than Laffey, who has been shifted to the bullpen with the five starting pitchers they now have at Kinston; plus, Laffey has also relieved in the past as well, so he may be more of a bullpen pitcher at the ML level.

As for Denham and Dittler, they're still mostly starters, but these two have not consistently done well at AAA, and in Dittler's case, really has not been a consistent starter since 2003.  

Therefore, I'm not sure those two would be the best choices to post on your list to defend the grade of an A for the starting pitching in our system.  In fact, those two might become relievers also as Denham is being used solely out of the bullpen now that Carmona is back and Dittler has been very inconsistent at Buffalo and has also been used out of the bullpen in the past as well.

Just a minor disagreement about the starting pitchers you listed; overall though, very nice list and good work on it. :-)

Take care and keep the "faith"!

That's okay - it was still a great job, and like I said, Laffey has a good arm in his own right and Denham and Ditter are highly-touted; they just have had trouble being consistent, but they could still come through or be nice trade bait.

I can understand why you put them where you did since you made this list before the season started - no problem! :-)

Take care and keep the "faith"!
