July 31, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, Jose Abreu said: At what point do they just start intentionally walking him every single time? Not even joking It will be interesting to see how AAA pitchers adjust to him if he keeps it up. Do we get pitch arounds? Do we start to see that BB rate increase? So far challenging him isn't working at all.
July 31, 20187 yr 6 minutes ago, Jose Abreu said: I have no idea why Fangraphs is so down on Cease. How can you possibly conclude that he's a one pitch pitcher? I think those guys are overworked or something, because I normally find myself aligned with their views for the most part, but their Sox top prospects list was outdated and quite frankly embarrassing. Cease has serious fucking helium and all you need to do is watch him pitch to see it.
July 31, 20187 yr Wow, thank god for bad base running or Cease would have given up a run or two that inning.

July 31, 20187 yr Lol and we get an intentional walk to Eloy. Fear him International league. Edited July 31, 20187 yr by DirtySox

July 31, 20187 yr I don't believe in jinxes, so if Eloy is on the opening day roster in 2019, what do people think he's capable of (assuming no injuries)? Maybe I'm being conservative, but I went with 170 hits in 600 ABs with 50 BBs. 30 doubles, 3 triples, 25 bombs. Slash of .283/.338/.806. Am I being too mean or too nice? C'mon folks, I need a prospect to feel good about after the relative failures of Moncada, Anderson, Lopez and Giolito so far.

I think his current MLB projection is actually around an .830 OPS.

July 31, 20187 yr Author I guess Kyle Wright wasn't needed against Cease. That guy Franco (although a bit old actually has good peripherals) has a no-no through 6.

Collins looks so overmatched at the plate. It's hard to picture him ever being a competent MLB hitter in terms of average.

Someone in trade winds mentioned if anyone would trade Collins, Rutherford and Adams for Realmuto. I'm sure the Marlins would want way more, but I hope Hahn would say yes before Marlins GM put down the drugs.
July 31, 20187 yr Cease just pitched around 2nd and 3rd with 0 outs. Strikeout, pop out, groundout. Stud.

There is like no swing and miss to his game. I don't think his stuff is even close to playing at the big league level. Rutherford I'm optimistic on though.
