02/09: Sickels on Clippard
John Sickels over at MinorLeagueBall.com checks in with
his look at one of the more polarizing prospects in baseball, Tyler Clippard. I'd also check out the comments as they are often as good as the post.
The list of comparable pitchers generated by Baseball Prospectus' PECOTA system is intriguing, including Anibal Sanchez, John Patterson, Ralph Terry, and Javier Vazquez on the positive side, with Pete Broberg, John Stephens, Dicky Gonzalez, and Scott Sobkowiak on the `not-so-positive' end.
I am more than a little biased when it comes to Clippard as I've always been the type who roots for the underdog.
