Wilfredo Boscan - SP
I think his velocity needs a boost. In the roster it is 86-88 at the moment. BA has it at 86-92, with the ability to dial it up to 93. BP has it at 88-91 and can dial it to 93. I think he also needs a sinker added to his repertoire. From BP, " He sets up hitters with an 88-91 mph sinker that he can dial up to 93 when he needs a little extra". BA also defines it as he locates his fastball well to both sides of the plate and can run it back across the outside corner against lefthanders". Maybe replace the fastball with the sinker.

Neil Ramirez - SP
Needs a big boost in his velocity. The roster has him at 83-85, while BP has him in the low 90's and touching 95. BA has him at 91-94 while touching 96. He also has a 1 rating for movement right now. BA has him at 15th in the system while BP has him at 10th and a 3-star prospect. He struck out 52 in 44 innings last year in Rookie league ball. Link to his stats from last year He was on a strict pitch count which limited him to less than 5 innings 11 of 13 start, explaining his record. His control at 26 also seems low.
