Small, though if Donaldson gets hurt (which I didn't mention above), then perhaps that calculus changes a bit.

By August, BHQ clearly states that it doesn't fully trust its projections, and by September, you pretty much abandon them altogether. Given, that, who gets more AB going forward, Aristides Aquino, J. Fargas or Eddie Rosario?  Please rank who creates more 5x5 value of the three?

Aside re: BHQ projections: Think you're misuderstanding our Aug/Sep process -- I don't know what you're referring to when you say  "clearly". In Aug especially, the YTD sample size makes the projections stronger. We DO note that by the middle of September, noise the model can't account for can create some havoc on the ROS numbers. BUT ... we still have team analysts assigning playing time up until that final weekend. Please contact our support email if you have additional questions.
On the players, I'd say Rosario gets the most AB the rest of the way, but Aquino creates the most value. Fargas third in both cases.

HI Brent, looking forward to your post trade analysis.  In NL, whats your thoughts on K. Gibson on the phillies and who are the new save candidates that you like most.  I have kennedy, clippard and finegan.  can you share your thoughts on these and any others.  thanks.

I'd feel much better about Gibson if the Phillies did have such bad IF defense. A GBer is great in that home park, but I think it's likely to get negated by all the extra outs that Bohm, Didi and Hoskins will give away ROS. They are not even a sound defensive team; let alone above average. Galvis is an upgrade in that sense, but he's not coming in to be a full-time starter.
Saves: Kennedy and Finnegan (though not sure how many WAS creates). Also have my eye on Roman Wick's progress in CHC coming back from injury.

Josiah Gray - Will he eventually be a SP1 or SP2?
Brent Hershey

No; right now does not have a monster pitch or pinpoint command that warrants that upside. Likely a 3/4 SP, with low-SP2 upside if improvements are made.

Thanks, all, gotta run. Will be back next week. Couple plugs -- a big First Pitch Arizona registration discount ends tonight. Dates are Oct 14-17 in Phoenix; would love to see you there. Our BaseballHQ team rocked the deadline; Chris Blessing has a ranking the traded prospects article out today. Can find me on Twitter @BrentHQ, and via our prospects podcast called The Eyes Have It. All of that can be found our the BaseballHQ.com homepage. See ya next Monday!
