How is Gowans not a T30 guy? He had a great season, including AA, and has had a solid minor league track record ti this point. I’d certainly put him above guys like Nastrini, Eder, Burke, etc.

    Trading Bummer was never the problem.  It was the return targeting guys who were approaching free agency and DFA status instead of trying to refill the farm system.  The problem was Getz trying to get

So we are to the point where you claim he is a top 30 guy because you claim he is, despite no one else saying it.  Got it.  Cool.

No but his time at Birmingham where he put up a WHIP of 1.35 in the 2nd half isn't likely to boost him in any rankings made my an independent viewer.

Even if it actually were to happen, that just means he got on because other guys fell so much.  That is also not a good thing.

It’s perfectly fine when combined with a 3.14 ERA and 10.5 K/9

He will also be going back to Birmingham as a 25 year old, and again above league average age as a post TJS guy with a profile that doesn't really jump out.

Ah, so now you’re shifting the argument to say he’s only in consideration for T30 because other guys fell. Got it.

Who says he’s going back to Birmingham to start the 2025 season?

No, I was saying he wasn't top 30, which is accurate.  He is literally not.  You shifted this into "well i think so" territory

He's worth more than T30 because he went to a local university.

We can argue that, I guess.
