Originally drafted by the Indians, the latest junior ace from Ole Miss was also the latest top pitching prospect to be traded between rebuilding teams last year, something of a leitmotif for MLB in 2011. In fact, ex-Indian and current Rockie Thomas (Andrew) Pomeranz was probably the best lefty of the 2010 draft class, so his arrival in Colorado wasn't insignificant in any way.

Pomeranz is an emerging master at working both sides of the plate with his precise fastball and curve, both plus pitches, and if he can continue to develop his so-so changeup, he could be a solid three-pitch starter very very soon.

News and Notes

We'd like to thank Billy Beane for being such a loyal Scouting Book reader. In response to our post two hours ago, Mr. Beane has kindly solved the Rockies' rotation issues by trading lefthander Josh Outman to Colorado. Outman should bump Pomeranz to #4 or #5 in the Rockies rotation, the way it looks right now. But if the Rockies add one more pitcher, Pomeranz will almost certainly open in AA.

Drew Pomeranz is looking more and more like a member of the Rockies' 2012 starting rotation, as the team hasn't made any serious moves to add pitching during the offseason so far.
