Scouting Report

Assets
  • Etherton has 90-mph heat, but likes to mix things up with a curveball, a change-up and a dropping palmball, all thrown with excellent command.
Flaws
  • In his fewbig-league stints, home plate has been a launching pad. He's been unable to make the psychological jump from Triple-A.
Career Potential
  • Borderline big-league starter.
