Ross: Are there any surprise players in the system that might make the big league squad in 2009?

John Mozeliak: Don’t rule out Tyler Greene, he is having a strong Arizona Fall League.

oswalt is listed at 6’0″ and he’s made an average of 30 starts a year being pretty dominant. so being small doesn’t pigeon hole you into the bullpen.

in fact, this guy does some research into the subject and comes up with some interesting finds. he used the 2007 data and he is missing his pictures but the gist is still there.
