One thing has remained consistent: It's a pitcher in the top spot on the organization's Top 30. Left-hander Anthony Banda continues a stretch that began with Tyler Skaggs back in 2011. And while he didn't quite rate on the Top 100, he does have the makings of a future starter in the big leagues.
The amateur scouting staff has tried to fill the talent coffers as much as possible, with nine of the Top 30 coming from the last two Drafts, and that without the benefit of a first-round selection last June and the trading of the No.
