Daniel Lynch has a good enough fastball and slider they could pop him into the majors right now and he’d be an effective late-inning guy. Whether he turns into the #2 starter his upside suggests is possible depends on him improving his command, consistency, and his third offering (whether curve or change).
Advancing him no more than one level in a season is a good way to support those developmental needs.

Look at Lynch's May compared to his April. He's been much much better. I had a big long post typed out but I lost it. His BABIP was so high in April and seems to have come down to a more realistic number this month and the numbers habe improved drastically.
