A huge beast of a pitcher, the six foot eight Anthony Ranaudo is one of many premium righthanded arms from the 2010 Amateur Draft. The LSU alum works with a mid-90's fastball on an (obviously) downward plane, mixing in an average curve and changeup that will have to improve before he's MLB-worthy. He made 10 starts for A-level Greenville in 2011, and sixteen more for high-A Salem in the more hitter-friendly Carolina League. Across both teams, he went 9-6, 3.97, 1.27, striking out 117 hitters in 127 combined innings, which means he should continue to move up on schedule this eason. There are still some concerns with his mechanics, as is often the case with tall pitchers, and his slightly jerky delivery worries a few scouts. Despite those concerns, though, Ranaudo is a pitcher with significant upside that should be worth the risk the Sox took on him.
