It's really too early to tell from their minor league stats. Remember that if they're grade-A prospects, don't call them up unless you can use them that season, no need to start the arbitration clock a season too early.

Look at their ERA ratings... a 6 is good enough to be in the majors and a 5 can hold his own if you're desperate. If you don't have any of those go with the guys with good HA and BB ratings that hopefully can K some people.

Sarabia MIGHT be able to succeed if his ERA rating goes up quickly. Same with D'amico. Other than that you're looking at Sabathia and Guthrie.
