Obviously they have performed well at their respective levels so that begets the question - what sort of stuff do they have? What is the fastball? How is their command? A guy like Ballestar has practically an unlimited ceiling if he harnesses his fastball. My first take on these two is that they at best are a 5th starter and nothing to get excited about.
