Hey, they were high on Lindgren and didnt protect him last year, plus we are routinely having players that can't kick injuries. <br /><br />In my opinion, this dude has become a millionaire from this franchise and hasn't done a freaking thing, which is a smack in the face to the other what, 3k minor league players in the mlb that are busting their asses earning like 2k a month, trying to make it to the bigs. <br /><br />BUT hey, Jacob degrom was only a year younger than kap and he's like, top 20 pitchers in mlb now. And hopefully, we will get a half season to check him out before adding him to the 40 man. <br /><br />Tldr: add him, we've protected much less on the 40 man.

By the time the Yankees have to make the decision, Kaprielian will be more than a year removed from the surgery and well underway with rehabilitation. In retrospect, Kaprielian should have had TJ surgery last year. But regardless, he is a talent that must be protected. As for Hensley, I had no problems with his loss. If he finally overcomes his struggles with injuries, great for him but I prefer it to be on someone else's dime at this point. I am not confident he'll ever succeed.

Had he been exposed, he surely would have been selected. That being said, I agree with you. Kaprelian absolutely has to be protected. Teams like Tampa Bay and San Diego would snatch him up in a heartbeat and stash him in the bullpen if need be. There's just too much upside to him not to. We all saw what that moron AJ Preller did with the Rule 5 last winter. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687487174545518045noreply@blogger.com
