southsider2k5 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 johnsickels @MinorLeagueBall 2h Prospect Note: Jake Petricka, RHP, Chicago White Sox fits closer profile if he continues to refine command http://sbn.to/1oktl47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Not enough stuff to be a closer long-term IMO. Command also an issue. Edited July 1, 2014 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 To me, it just comes down to whether or not he can get both R and L handed batters out. So far, it looks like there's definitely a platoon split: http://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.aspx?p...=P&season=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If you read the article, I think all the writer is really trying to get across is... he has good stuff, poor command, but has demonstrated SIGNIFICANT improvement since getting his ass handed to him in AA just 2 years ago. Think like this: If Petricka has come this far, why can't he continue to improve and be a top notch closer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
