Cloyd and Pettibone

[JuTMSY4]

not sure how they're doing in (particularly Cloyd), but I'll take it

Feels like Happ and Worley happening at the same time.

I think Pettibone's ceiling is a little higher than Worley's (not a low 3 ERA pitcher). He has a better fastball, and he's still only 22. He hasn't fully developed his secondary pitches yet.

Cloyd will eventually get hit around. But they're at an advantage while they go through the league for the first time.

I don't think Cloyd's success is so much the league getting familiar with him as it is how he locates his pitches.

He's Jamie Moyer with a little better fastball.

If he hits the corners, they generally hit it to someone ... if he doesn't, they hit it where they ain't.
