Well, time to address these really quickly. First off, Gonzalez Germen is finally getting his shot with the team, and considering he was on the 40-man for a long time, I hope it brings him success. I often mentioned his name under players that could’ve easily been cut off the 40, so we’ll see what happens.

On the topic of Jacob deGrom, I think this is the smart move. I mentioned yesterday that I didn’t want to see Mejia thrown into the fire so quickly and especially while he’s technically still on the back-end of his rehab. On the flip side, deGrom was set to end up on the 40-man roster sooner rather than later because he needs to be protected from the Rule V Draft in the offseason. He’s also a very talented young pitcher and I’m very excited to see what he can do in a spot start. You never know where you can end up getting production from and deGrom has an amazing fastball that rocketed him through our system.
