Also, Alex Kirilloff will be back before the end of the week. Wander Javier and Nick Gordon shouldn't be too much longer as well.

How about Griffin Jax early? Just a hot streak or is there something more there?
I think Kohl Stewart is in the rotation next year or even later this year. He still doesn't strike anyone out, but I gotta feeling.

I don't see him getting the call unless there's injuries. I would love to see him play well and then be used in a trade for starting or relief pitching.

Prove that he can hit major league pitching. Guy hit .212 in AAA last year. He has shown good progress at every level of the minors but hit a big road block last year when promoted to the last step before the majors. Lets hope he can figure it out!

Wow!!! First start at High A. I saw he projects as a mid-rotation guy? Is that still the case?
From everything that I've read, the Twins really like this kid. His projection is still a bit cloudy but right now, the safe bet is a mid rotation guy. Some think that his ceiling could be a very good #2 or even a 1.

He has the frame to add more weight and probably MPH to his already 94 fastball. He has 4 solid pitches with the slider projecting to be a plus pitch and a fastball with some good movement and sink. His command is what seems to be his biggest attribute so far which is always nice to hear about a young SP.

Keith law has him as the Twins #3 prospect, one spot ahead of Brusdar Graterol. He thinks he will have a great 2019 and will take a huge jump in the national rankings by the end of the year.

It's just 19 ABs, but it's nice to see Gordon off to a good start. I have to think his rough time at AAA last year scuffed his confidence a fair amount. Good to see him having some success early to get the good vibes going.
