I like this pick more with Peterson in the organization.
I was thinking this same thing earlier.
I'm hoping Peterson stays beyond his 1-year contract.

If he has some mechanical issues, I wonder if he would just be better served going to extended ST and work with Peterson?Ehhhh, depends on how many he throws but already jumping 30IP I might err on the side of caution in his first year. He could hold his own at that level, just worry about the load. Maybe if you shut him down until then.

Well I hear Linda Ronstadt is looking for a guitar player.

Wont extended spring training be over before he probably signs?

Can't imagine he throws before AFL.
He'll probably throw the same # of innings as Bundy this year.
Think they start him in Frederick next year?

Yeah I think so, he's gotta find a 3rd and hopefully 4th pitch.

Seems like he'll be Fastball, Slider, Change with a show-me Curve in the long run.
Maybe adds a cutter or something to that sinking fatball. That seems to be what all the kids are doing these days.

With Gausman probably set to finish the year around 130 innings, I don't see much reason to push it in 2012. Maybe the AFL, but Frederick to start 2013 seems reasonable. I guess it's possible that he could fly through the system in less than one season like Matusz did, but an early 2014 arrival makes more sense to me.

Klaw mentioned that he and Appel could start in AA if they really wanted to push them. I really see no need for that.

Shut him down. Frederick for 8 starts next year, Bowie the rest of the way.

I like the pick, but I have a sneaky suspicion that Gausman is going to end up as a (successful) bullpen arm.

Why? Not trying to pick a fight, just genuinely curious.

Because I'm doubtful that he ever develops the third strong pitch. A guy with 2 great pitches can be an excellent reliever, but not so much a great starter in the big leagues. His fastball-changeup combo are perfect as an 8th inning guy. But until he turns the curve (which he only started throwing this year) or the slider into a plus pitch, I am skeptical.
