The Yankees top international signee back in 2007, righthander Arodys Vizcaino got a taste of MLB ball in 2011 and should be back to stay in early 2012. His fastball hovers in the low 90s, but should get harder as he matures. He complements that with an already-superb curve and a developing change. In any other system, he'd be a number one prospect. In Atlanta, he's easy to overlook.

News and Notes

1/12/2012 by KDaddy


Arodys Vizcaino is expected to open 2012 back in the Braves' relief corps. He's still better as a starter long-term, but the Braves are nothing if not patient and careful with their treasures. If he's there on Opening Day, the Atlanta bullpen will be one of the best in baseball, and also one of the youngest.
