At AA he 3.89 ERA with a 21/33 K/BB ration in 39 innings. At AAA so far he has a 1.89 ERA with 12-11 ration in 13 innings. His endurance is currently at 4 and his suggested role is starter.
My decision is whether to use him as a closer or starter. I feel that I could mask the control issues. However, the thought of having one of the best starting pitchers is appealing. The fact that he is 23 years old with horrible control issues is the part that really scares me.
What would you guys do?

How many pitches does this kid have? What are those pitches rated at? I have heard that to be a successful SP in X one should have at least 3 decent pitches.
That could be a determining factor in deciding what role he would best fit into.
