BP Annual Player Comments

Year		Comment
2019		Due to publishing agreements, the 2019 player comments and team essays are only available in the Baseball Prospectus 2019 book (available in hardcopy, and soon e-book and Kindle).
2018		He’s got a long way to go before he evolves into a major leaguer, but Darwinzon Hernandez keeps surviving as he climbs the ladder. High-A should prove a good test of his adaptability.

2019-11-06 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Darwinzon Hernandez was promoted almost immediately after being converted to a reliever. Where do you think he would slot if he were still eligible? (Lars from Laramie)	Somwhere in the Ward/Groome/Mata range, maybe towards the top if you wanted to heavily weight near-term value since all those arms have at least a moderate degree of reliever risk anyway.
