Ranaudo. He was one of my two picks to really shine this year (along with Jacobs, who will be my pick again an extra year removed from the hamate issue).

I'm not sure if I'm more surprised by his K numbers or his BB numbers, but both are impressive in the early going.

[honkbal]

I would have picked Ranaudo, but then I saw that Couch pitched more innings.

He pitched two games, kind of hard to compare the two on IP without factoring that in

[sturmrider]

Ranaudo is looking good. If he keeps going at this pace could be a September call up to get his feet wet.

I was not being serious. Though I see someone did actually vote for Couch, it wasn't me.

Hence my confusion

I went with Ranaudo, although I was tempted to vote for Couch. Still, nice to see Couch and Jason Garcia on the short list.

[sibbysisti]

Not much difference in the performances of Ranaudo and Owens. Got to go with one or the other, though. Ranaudo with one less hit surrendered, and more Ks.

[redsoxportugal]

Ranaudo had an awesome performance. Both Kukuk and Owens have a great future ahead.
