DocBauer 23,157 Posted January 9, 2014 Loveitloveitloveit! I believe Berrios has excellence written all over him. All reports are of a good natured kid, excellent athlete and tireless worker with some potentially excellent stuff. I don't buy the argument about him not being 6' plus and 220 or more. Not every successful pitcher comes n a tailored size. And some of the bigger guys don't throw as hard as you would think their size demands. Now, despite work ethic and athleticism, I suppose it's possible he might lack the endurance to be a consistent 200+ plus IP guy every season, but look at Pedro Hernandez as an example. And a bit of a late fade last year is common for someone so young in the lower minors maturing and building himself up. I am also very high on Gonsalves, who conversely does have a more ideal build. If it wasn't for the reported incident where he tried to cover an indiscretion of some teammates, he would have gone sooner. If his still good last season had been even a bit more successful, he would have gone higher. And we're not even having this discussion because someone else would have taken him. The young man is highly projectile, has good natural stuff, and hats off to the Twins scouts for doing their homework.
