Name This Prospect, Part IV

[Jaypers]

This prospect made his debut in the BA Prospect Handbook three years ago, and ranked # 18 on his team's Top 30 list. He was first signed by them in 2005, and has since switched teams.

Highlights from his scouting report back then included:

- Has a lanky frame to grow into (his height and weight remain the same today as back then).
- Can produce an effortless 90-93 MPH fastball, and can reach 96-97.
- FB is his lone plus offering.
- Changeup needs considerable work.
- Needs to pitch down in the strike zone more consistently and gain better control.


Who here can name him?

Clay Buchholz? Or does the player have to be a prospect still?

Clay Buchholz? Or does the player have to be a prospect still?

Not him, and yes, the player still has to be considered a prospect.

Here's a BIG hint: the player got traded in the summer of 2007 from his original N.L. team to his present A.L. team.

 

[Johan Santana 57]

I'd say Neftali Feliz with that last hint.

I'd say you're right.
