According to Baseball America, Mike Esposito has the best change-up in the Rockies minor league system. RoxHead didn't see it that way. Esposito is going to be a pitcher who may never get out of AAA. His stuff hasn't impressed this writer so far and being that he is 25, then it may never do so. Currently, he is trying to snag the 5th spot in the rotation, however, it may be better for his development if he pitches the year in the Springs.
