don’t love either guy, but wheeler has way more upside, although a higher chance to bust too.

not even close in voting

sad to see that, being a Padre fan. Erlin does lack elite ceiling but I think he’ll be able to help the Pads very soon, before wheeler, which is something I look at a lot more then others I think

Rob Erlin and Yusmeiro Petit

A lot of people use Petit as an example of why minor league numbers don’t matter and scouting and stuff do. I don’t entirely disagree. Petits stuff wasn’t great.

Here’s the thing though, he didn’t have great numbers either in one aspect I condider BIG for minor league pitchers – he gave up too many longballs! 78 in 708 innings or, about 1 per nine innings. That isn’t terrible for the mionors but, good, future big league starters usually don’t give up that many or, close to it.

I see similarities with Robbie Erlin in stuff and, even more significantly – the longball. He has given up 27 in 266 Innings and, has the same dynomite K/BB ratio making most everyone overlook it. He will be pitching in a park that will help a lot with that but, it is still a “yellow flag”, for me anyways.

Erlin

is a good prospect; nothing to scoff at. However, it is of my personal opinion that he has nowhere near the ceiling that Wheeler has, so I give the nod to him.
