Gonzalez Germen

Germen's second run in the big leagues did not go as well as his 2013 debut, as he was vulnerable to the long ball (2.1 HR/9), and he had very little margin for error to begin with thanks to a walk rate north of 4.0 BB/9. His true talent level in terms of his ability to keep the ball in the park is somewhere in between his first two seasons, as the elevated home run rate last season was accompanied by a jump from 2.4% to 18.4% in his HR/FB. Bouncing around on the fringes of a few 40-man rosters during the offseason, Germen landed with the Cubs as a waiver claim in January. At age 27, he'll likely end up in middle relief if he's able to secure a job, but the Cubs can shuttle him between Triple-A and the big leagues in 2015 as he still has one season of minor league options remaining.
