PROSPECT: Will Warren, SP, New York Yankees
ANALYSIS: The Yankees drafted Warren in the eighth round out of Southeastern Louisiana. New York has a habit of taking a player with a strong breaking pitch and developing the fastball to turn the arm into a prospect.
Warren has a double-plus slider but he hasn't seen the growth in his fastball you'd like to see to be projected as a starter. This season, he's posted a 2.45 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 29 1/3 innings, with a 39/12 K/BB.
His heavy sinking fastball and elite slider could allow him plenty of success as a backend starter. If he could see one of his other three offerings play up, he could potentially bump up to a mid-rotation type.
VERDICT: Warren's delivery is difficult to repeat, which makes projecting him as a starter difficult right now, but he could be very strong in the bullpen. He could be a deep dynasty stash, but shallow leagues should wait and see how he handles a full season of starting at the upper levels. The Yankees recently announced that he's been called up to Triple-A.
