Garrett made his pro debut with the Ogden Raptors last night and went one hitless, scoreless inning. No BB's or SO's.

He is having a great start in the minors.

He didn't just start in the minors. This is his 3rd year , 2nd full year and last year wasn't so great which I why I suppose he's still in A Ball.Originally posted by lawmaker
But he seems to be off to a good start and maybe he can move up to AA and become a prospect again for the Dodgers (just won't be to be paid since the dodger can't pay payroll).Comment

Make that a great start in his third year at rookie league or single A ball. He needs to have a good year this year or his professional baseball career could be coming to a quick end.Comment

I believe this is his 1st year at A ball.
In his first year, he only pitched a couple of innings in rookie league. Last year, he was in rookie ball all year.
A slower path to the bigs might be Derek Norris. He's now up to AA, but only hitting in the .150s and splitting duties in his 4th year. He a had a good year at A ball two years ago, but slipped last year at A+. The Senators seem to want him to succeed as they've continued to promote Derek each year, but hitting below .200 won't get him further.Comment

Ranked 5th best prospect for the LAD.
5. Garrett Gould, RHP
DOB: 7/19/91
Height/Weight: 6'4/190
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: Second round, 2009, Maize HS (KS)
2011 Stats: 2.40 ERA (123.2-102-37-104) at A (27 G)
Tools Profile: Good stuff with advanced polish for his age.
Year in Review: The 2009 second-round pick made major strides while earning Midwest League All-Star honors.
The Good: Gould made some mechanical tweaks prior to the season and improved his velocity dramatically in 2011, sitting at 91-94 mph. His curveball is among the best in the system as a slow, loopy pitch with heavy, late break. He improved his changeup, which some scouts project as average, and generally throws strikes.
The Bad: Gould is greater than the sum of his parts, as he doesn't blow hitters away and needs to hit his spots and have effective secondary pitches to succeed. His changeup still lacks consistency, and he'll need to improve his stamina after running out of gas towards the end of the 2011 season.
Ephemera: Only five pitchers taken with the 65th overall selection in the draft have reached the majors. Anthony Telford is the all-time leader in wins with 22, and none of them have a winning record.
Perfect World Projection: Number-three starter.
Fantasy Impact: Gould is not going to be a big strikeout pitcher, but his control will keep the WHIP down.
Path to the Big Leagues: The Dodgers rotation at High-A Rachno Cucamonga will be one worth keeping an eye on.
ETA: 2014Comment
