Rob Kaminsky

After he was traded to the Indians at the trade deadline for Brandon Moss, it became clear that the Cardinals, at least, see more of a No. 4 starter with Kaminsky than a potential No. 2 or No. 3. Of course, even if he is just a No. 4, that trade still makes plenty of sense for Cleveland, as they get out of doing the arbitration dance with Moss in 2016. There might not be an organization with a better recent run of developing starting pitchers who lacked elite prospect pedigree than the Indians, so the trade shouldn’t harm the 21-year-old hurler’s ability to reach his ceiling. Kaminsky had excellent numbers at High-A, putting up a 2.24 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 104.1 innings, but his 83 strikeouts speak to his lack of frontline stuff. An undersized lefty, Kaminsky has three average pitches and solid-average command, so he won’t really be tested until he is assigned to Double-A, which could happen at the outset of 2016.
