No, need one of them to be a lot more than solid. Cease might have a chance to be a legit ace at this point and I see #3 starter potential in Dunning. Really need one of them to live up to their potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing, but they were considered secondary players in the major trades of the rebuild? Edited July 26, 2018 by daggins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 In which case I would include Basabe in that group. So far, health excepted, the returns look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Basabe with a single to extend his hitting streak to 13 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I highly recommend that anyone with MILBTV watch this Barons game. Cease with 9 K’s through 5 perfect innings with 43 of 62 pitches for strikes (69%). He really looks incredible tonight. Just got a swinging K on a 3-2 count on a changeup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Sutcliffe said Cease was the best Cubs pitching prospect since he became a Cub in 1984. He does do some spring training work with the team.

I suppose, but I think I'm higher on Dunning than most. I see #2 potential in him mostly because of how solid and consistent he's been since coming over to the White Sox (prior to the injury of course). Cease obviously has ace potential and many people keep saying he may need to go to the pen, but I don't see a reason for it. He's done nothing but show he can start this year. 4 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I highly recommend that anyone with MILBTV watch this Barons game.

So when does he get the call to AAA? Does he really have anything left to prove at AA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still needs to build up innings so no need to rush him, but I could see an early promotion to AAA next year and a 2019 major league appearance is a very realistic possibility now.

BigHurt3515 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Well Cease can field his position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Cease perfect through 6 innings now with 10 K’s and 50 of 73 pitches for strikes (68%). Had two little dribblers that almost ruined it for him, but made two quality fielding plays to keep the dream alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
