I get where you're coming from Spec on Luuuuuke.
Career minors line: 177.2-IP; 11.4-K/9; 2.2-BB/9; 0.6-HR/9; 8.1-H/9 ..
His 2010 94/15 K/BB ratio in 63 innings is stupefying.  He may be turning 26 this year, but that has to be the most minor of quibbles.
My own addition to the spec watch is also a reliever:
Career minors line:  96-IP; 10.2-K/9; 1.7-BB/9; 0.0-HR/9; 7.5-H/9;  (yes, he hasn't allowed a HR yet, in his entire professional career).
His 109/18 K/BB ratio (for his career) is right there with Lueke, (albeit in fewer innings).
But, because he doesn't hit 95 on the gun, Brian Moran is basically dismissed as a prospect.  The thing that REALLY sells me on Moran, however, is that he posted a 29/2 K/BB ratio in 2010 at HIGH DESERT! 
The guy with the insane K/BB at High Desert in 2009?  (8.0) Pineda.  Moran's was 14, but he can't even get a mention most places, even at just age 21.
