Gonsalves a sleeper...

Post by Angels »

From Rotographs:

Stephen Gonsalves | LHP | Twins
ETA: mid-2017
Value: Rising (Underrated)

Gonsalves is probably one of the best prospects in the minors that you’ve never heard of… and it’s probably because he plays for Minnesota. If he were in a New York or Chicago organization he’d probably be a top 50 prospect. The southpaw, a former fourth-round pick, opened the year in high-A ball but quickly proved too advanced for A-ball. He’s had similar success in double-A and has held batters to a .187 average on the season. Despite being a fly-ball pitcher, Gonsalves does an exceptional job of keeping the ball in the park and has allowed just nine home runs in his four-year career (347.2 innings). With a strong pitcher’s frame capable of soaking up innings and three average-or-better offerings, Gonsalves has the makings of a No. 2 or 3 starter in the Majors if he continues along this development path.
