Oakland's second round pick in 2006, righthander Trevor Cahill is one of a dozen strong pitching prospects in the Oakland system. He might also be the best one. He delivers a sinking 92mph fastball with command and authority, but his loopy curveball is even better. After a nice showing at the 2008 Olympics, Cahill should get a chance to audition in Oakland sometime sometime in 2009.

While Oakland is stacked to the rafters in pitching prospects, Cahill is one of the best two or three they have right now, so he could be pitching every fifth day as early as 2010.
