Yet another promising lefthander in the Detroit system, University of Arkansas alum Drew Smyly has been impressing coaches since he signed back in 2010. A 4-3 record in his first sample of AA ball might not look like much, but that's why we have fancy sabermetrics these days: Smyly somehow went only 4-3 while notching a tiny 1.18 ERA and an even more ridiculous 1.03 WHIP. That's some bad luck.

He also struck out 53 and walked only 15 in his seven starts. While he doesn't have the electric stuff of some of Detroit's hotter young arms, Smyly does have two things his superiors don't: reliable command of all the pitches that he does possess, and a name that should get him instant access to the Muppet Show Live, now on Broadway.
