Organization Prospect Rankings
Mitre doesn't have the front-of-the-rotation profile of the pitchers ahead of him on this list, but he has enjoyed consistent success throughout the minors and reached Chicago for a pair of emergency starts barely two years after he signed out of San Diego City College. His stuff has gotten a little better each year to the point where it's average across the board. His velocity fluctuates from 86-94 mph, and his fastball is more notable for its sink. He's a strike-throwing, ground-ball machine who also works with a curveball or changeup. Mitre isn't overpowering and doesn't have much margin for error, which big league hitters showed by letting him fall behind in the count before pounding him. He has a ceiling as a No. 4 or 5 starter, and he'd also be effective as a middle reliever with a knack for getting double plays. There's no opening for him on the current big league staff, so he'll spend this year in Triple-A. The Cubs fielded several trade inquiries about Mitre last summer and could be tempted to deal him in 2004.
