    I'm probably more worried about the injuries than the performance going forward. Would be surprised if he has another full, healthy season the rest of his career. There's a reason teams avoid short rhps.

    I'm surprised that the Red Sox aren't up in that division more than they are. Should win it by 10 games. Twins obviously aren't as good as Boston and Houston, but they can still hang with everyone else.

    Granite won't walk much either nor hit for a whole lot of power. If he can keep up a high average he'll have value, like Tyner. Granite also brings more speed and defense, making him a more valuable 4th OF.

    Garver isn't going to be a better hitter than Vargas.

    I suspect Gordon has risen a lot, probably about #20 right now.

    Good name, would cost a decent amount with year and a half of control left.

    Go get em Felix. Didn't see that one coming.
  8. drjim
    Surprising move for sure. Maybe he can ambush them for a start. But I agree, not overly optimistic.

    For one thing he could have delayed signing.

    I don't know about this. I would hold on to Buxton to the bitter end. I do wonder if either of those teams might want Rosario. Giants seem like an especially good fit and would be willing to move a starter. A reload for them too.

    Very Jason Tyner like if Granite gets dh reps.
  13. drjim
    Hard to see how Granite and Rosario fit on the same roster.
  14. drjim
    They can probably trade a middle infielder and Rosario plus most of their prospects. Not sure what long term asset this can net, pitching generally seems overpriced and everyday players underpriced at the deadline.

    I just assume the organization encouraged him to go, and set up a plan to work around it.

    For one start I would go Romero over Gonsalves. But it's going to be Gee.
  17. drjim
    I would say a little for sure. The hr rate has gone up, but good news is he has significantly dropped his bb rate. To me, if he maintains the low bb rate as he moves up, he's going to give up some hrs. His increase in fb% might be a small red flag too. The big takeaway is he needs a little more polish than we might think.

    And now some words from our President... https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/880408582310776832 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/880410114456465411

    I wouldn't worry too much about this.
  20. drjim
    Maybe nitpicking, but also important if he is going to be successful. To be clear, I like Gonsalves, think he has a legit chance to be an effective 3/4 starter for multiple years, likely by early next year. But with his profile, he should efficiently carve up AA basically every start. I would say he's about there, but I am supportive of a little conservatism here, especially because I'm skeptical he has much to add this season.
  21. drjim
    I imagine they move him with 1-2 more starts of 7ip.
  22. drjim
    Certainly not a deal breaker and it is a theory from digging into numbers rather than actual observation. Watching start to start could be telling a different story. And those are counter examples to give my theory pause (though none of them have had mlb success yet). I am thinking about Gonsalves and jis specific profile. Seems he has better command/a little lighter stuff than others cited. Relivers are a different standard to me.
  23. drjim
    I personally think The Atlantic is the best thing going. But I'm also much more anti-Trump than I am specifically anti-Republican, so it fits me well.
  24. drjim
    If Gonsalves doesn't make the majors but ends up in Arizona instead, he'll have enough innings built up to make it through September next year. That is the most important thing for him now.
  25. drjim
    I'm not sure he's ready for AAA. Too many 5-6 inning starts. I would want to see 3-4 more starts of at lesst 7 (with maybe 1 short start) before I move him to AAA. He has nice k/bb ratios but isn't especially economic with his pitches or perhaps not able to put away AA hitters as efficiently as he needs to. With his profile, it wouldn't fly in the bigs, especially for a team trying to compete. If the Twins fade they might give him some token starts or perhaps they get desperate enough. Otherwise probably headed to Arizona. My point on the injury is that it probably set him back too much to make his debut this year in a normal manner. Too many innings was not going to be a problem if he was healthy, he could have made it through the season.
