17. Carlos Gutierrez
Starting Pitcher/Reliever
Throws: Right
Age: 22
ETA: 2011
Potential: #2/3 starter or dominant bullpen arm
2010 outlook: New Britain rotation, possible midseason call-up to Rochester
Carlos Gutierrez was a first round pick in last year’s draft by the Twins. This year he was very solid. He pitched in 33 games, and made 16 starts between class A and AA ball. Combined he had a 3.70 ERA with 65 strikeouts in 107 innings pitched. Batters hit .248 off of him. His numbers at Fort Myers were much better than those at New Britain. At Fort Myers his ERA was just 1.32, and opponents hit just .192. His ERA ballooned to 6.19 at AA. I think he had a tired arm, because he spent most of the rest of the year in the bullpen at AA. I’m not sure if he will start or be a bullpen pitcher.
