Introducing your Fresno Grizzlies
Starting pitching. I suspect this group will dominate. Four of them Etheridge, Kilkenney, Eusebio, and Ruff would have been in Asheville in 2020 if there was a 2020.
Will Etheridge was a 2019 5th round draft pick. in 2019 he pitched 9 games for Boise and had a 4.40 ERA and a 6.2/1.8 K/BB ratio. Etheridge ranks 24 on the PuRP list but that was before the Arenado trade so we drop him to 26.
Breiling Eusebio was the darling of Rockies prospects in 2017 when he had a 1.59 ERA in 3 games with Boise and 4.91 ERA in 8 games after being promoted to Asheville as a 20 year old. after pitching 3 games and 9.1 innings in Asheville in 2018 Eusebio had TJ surgery. He returned in 2019 to pitch 12 games of unimpressive 5.87 ERA. fully healthy it will be interesting to see what Eusebio does. BTW I had projected Eusebio to start the year in Spokane. Eusebio was a ranked PuRP before TJ and has received honorable mentions since.
