#21 – LHP Angel Calero
By Toby Hyde - Jan 28, 2009 1:50 pm

Bats/Throws: L/L

Height/Weight: 6’3”, 170 lbs

Acquired: NDFA (5/12/04)

Born: 9/25/86 (Valencia, VZ)

Why Ranked Here: Calero earns this ranking on three factors: lefthandedness, a plus LHP fastball (low 90s) and good size at 6’3”. In A-ball with Savannah, his K/BB ratio was a shade under four, indicating both good raw stuff and lots of strikes.

2008: Promoted to St. Lucie on June 10th, Calero made four starts, the last three of which were three innings or shorter. He was shut down at that point after complaining of shoulder discomfort and did not pitch again the rest of the year.

Dr. Pangloss Says: If I had a tree that grew hard-throwing lefties, I’d be a very happy doctor.

On the Flipside: Calero is coming off a shoulder problem so he has the injury red flag up high.

Projected 2009 Start: St. Lucie (if he’s healthy).
