Long term, do any of them project as a #1 or #2? How would you rank them?
I guess we can throw Minor in the mix as well but as of right now, he's the most proven and hasn't lived up to the hype yet.

I'm more comfortable addressing the Minor part than the other, perhaps Perry can add his $.02. But, from talking to some people at the AFL, all three are still considered top prospects, though Vizcaino could still end up in the pen. I think most consider Teheran to be the top prospect of the troika.
As for Minor, to say he hasn't lived up to the hype is a bit unfair. His peripherals were actually pretty decent last season, he was reamed by a .350 BABIP. He pitched more like a mid 3s guy, which is not so bad for a 23 year old.

That's why I added the word yet at the end.
I actually think he will emerge as a bonafide starter this year exactly for the reason you mention. Mid 3's would be nice as I kinda think he might drop more than he should in some drafts.
The main reason I ask about these arms is that I'm considering a big trade in a dynasty league and I'd be most interested in these prospects.

The Braves have so much good pitching it actually makes it tougher to guess on who gets the opportunities and when, but here is my view
Short term (2012) - Minor, Teheran, Vizcaino, Delgado
Long term - Teheran, Delgado, Minor, Vizcaino
