The idea of moving Graterol to the pen & as an 8th or 9th inning guy is an intriguing one, as surely his heater would play in the pen. I'm even for it should they decide to go that way. Starters while still valuable have lost some relevance due to the emergence of managers using their bullpens more. However, I think they have too see if Graterol can become a starter. He won't be fully ready to join the rotation until 2021 but any injury concerns about how hard he throws shouldn't scare them off. He is built like a tank despite him being shorter than what is considered ideal, he has the frame to withstand the wear & tear of pitching 200 innings a year. We have not had a dominant starter since Johan & haven't had one with a heater like his maybe ever. We have to be willing to accept some risk to see if he can reach his potential. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

How can you doubt Arraez at all? Dude has hit everywhere & tore up major league pitching at 22. He also had big hits in crucial spots. He isn't afraid of the moment. He may not hit .350 but he will hit over .300 as easily as anyone in baseball. Kid is a stud & instead of negging him (I know its easy when ur a twins fan) lets be optimistic about him.
