scouts that favor ability do not rate pitchers highly. just flip between OSA and said scout when drafting, look at stats when promoting in the minors.

the trickier aspect is developing SPs into big league pitchers. i've found that you have to promote them and give them a taste of the big leagues even if they don't appear ready or they'll completely fizzle if you expect them to make leaps and bounds in the minors. even then, it takes years for a guy to be a competent SP. never an out of the box sure thing like a Jose Fernandez
