It seems the best of them are no more that average major league pitchers (which is quite an accomplishment in its own right, but not worthy of top dollar.)

Until he was burned out, Okajima was untouchable, and he threw his fastball 86-88. It was all about deception. I don't know anything about Iwase or necessarily think the Yanks should pursue him, but to dismiss him outright because he throws 88 is the height of stupidity by Sherman and this scout.
