One of the big reasons why Price went No. 1 overall in 2007 was the possibility of seeing him in a big-league rotation sooner rather than later. He hasn't thrown a pro pitch yet, but scouts certainly see him as that kind of guy.
He's got tremendous stuff, with a plus fastball, slider and above-average changeup, excellent command of his pitches and the kind of leadership on the mound that screams "future ace." Price has great makeup and is extremely competitive. Add in the fact that this enticing package all comes in a left-hander and it's no wonder he nearly hit the top 10.
