Kaminsky has the sky as his limit from what I understand. The only question is his size. But, plus fastball plus plus curve left handed = dreamy.
Gonzalez is like Wacha only left handed but with possibly less control and bit less velo. What that means, I have no idea.

Gonzalez doesn't have the stuff of Wacha, but is left-handed and a gamer. He's also a heckuva hitter, and fields his position very well.

I think the comparisons are coming from others, and not you Birds, so this isn't directed at you, but Gonzalez and Wacha are not similar in any way other than their best pitch is a changeup.

Ones a lefty, ones a righty. Ones very tall, ones pretty average to a tick below size wise. Ones a stud hitter with plus athleticism and ones not a stud hitter. One fields the heck out of his position and has a good pickoff move and one doesn't. One has a mid-90's fastball that plays up due to the changeup and one has more average velocity with downward movement.

Kaminsky is a could be a stud to a could be a reliever type. Lots of variables with him.

I'm on record as loving him, and wanting him to make it badly. He didn't have the great feedback I expected in year one and I'm hoping for more year two.

Cooney is safe. I've seen him live and he's not a monster in my mind. He's a backend guy, but another backend lefty just got four years and $32 million from the Royals.

10-4. I feel like I knew a lot of that but said they were alike anyway. Mea culpa.

Even when you remove Shelby, Adams, Wacha, Rosenthal, etc from the prospect list, the depth of the system is still pretty dang good. It's impressive.

Jonathan Mayo said he would become #11 in our BA rankings.

With all the graduations, where do we expect our farm system to rank this season?

Lemme think here.....

Tier 1: Twins, Cubs

Tier 2: Rangers, Astros, Royals, Pirates, Padres

Tier 3: Cardinals, Mets, Mariners

Somewhere between 8-10 is where I'd put them.
