Saturday Bird Droppings: Gunnar Henderson is the man of the hour

Good morning, Birdland!

Everybody loves Gunnar Henderson. How could you not? He has all the tools you could ever want from your top prospect, and the production to match. Plus, he’s already got major league experience. There isn’t a ton of guess work to be done. We’ve seen it!
