Jeff, you should probably add "but not necessarily with Oakland", since he or they will be traded for younger prospects by Beane. “Which pitcher will have the best career?” Jeff, you should probably add “but not necessarily with Oakland”, since he or they will be traded for younger prospects by Beane.

Right now Anderson looks the most polished and the most comfortable on the mound. The one thing I don't like about him is that his fastball is pretty flat. Mazzaro has far better movement. I also like his breaking stuff better. When he is throwing consistently he looks really good and difficult to hit. Cahill looks absolutely lost on the mound most of the time. He has the most work to do. He doesn't seem to have a consistent, repeatable deliver yet and that is going to be a key to whether he becomes a big league pitcher or not. I think all three have tremendous upside and that they unfortunately are having to take their knocks at the big league level rather than at Triple A.
