Thomas Gavello, 24 yo, is liking AAA better than any level in his professional career, albeit in only 133 PAs with 30% wiffs and mostly from his July spree! August is more sobering: .200/.279/.418
ReplyDeleteAside for 1 disaster inning in July, Bednar had a good month then also, and not bad in June. April and May were forgettable.
ReplyDeleteHe is looking like a good 1-inning RP.
There is no way to protect him, is there?
Would they even want to?
FZ probably would since Bednar was one of his 1st round picks...
In a downer for the Giants, Hjelle and McDonald were lit up badly with lines you'd expect in one of the high altitude PCL stadiums, not in Sacramento. McDonald has developed "homeritis" giving up 6 in his last 2 games and 8 in July.
ReplyDeleteHjelle lost his 40-man spot but McDonald hasn't. Still "just" 24 yo, is he still viable?
