In his 20 Prospects for 2011, Jason Grey ranked Jordan Lyles as his #18 prospect:
Having already made six starts at Triple-A before his 20th birthday, Lyles is clearly on the fast track and could see time in the Astros' rotation early next year. Solid control and command of a four-pitch mix, with some additional projectability, thrown in make him one to watch.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
