WSC Birth Years: Erick Threets

Card #62 - Erick Threets

Born: November 4, 1981

After failing to catch on in the Dodgers organization, Erick may have finally found a home with the White Sox. In his first six appearances with the Pale Hose, Threets has a 0.00 ERA. Erick almost made the club out of Spring Training, but was sent to AAA until needed.

Originally drafted by the Giants, Erick made his MLB debut with them and, at one time, his changeup was rated the best in the Giants minor league system. He is still searching for his perfect role in the bullpen, but if Threets can keep his pace up, the crafty left-hander might just stick around for awhile.
