The Book on Carlos Carrasco
Prospect Info
Carlos Carrasco
Born 3/21/1987
RHP, CLE
An under-the-radar phenom last year, Carrasco can't sneak past anyone now, and when the Indians went looking for a prospect haul in exchange for Cliff Lee, he was on top of their wish list. He's now one of baseball's top pitching prospects, and he's essentially ready for MLB today: he's already got three solid big-league ready pitches, he's shown durability and endurance needed to be a front-line starter, and he's got the brains to outsmart sluggers from outing to outing and at-bat to at-bat. The AL won't be easy on him, and he's bound to get lit up like a pinball machine at times, but if Cleveland gives the kid an early shot, expect some highlight-reel performances.
