June 4, 20196 yr Just now, Jose Abreu said: Last AAA start for Cease! It's going to be so nice to have a second starting pitcher in the MLB rotation to get excited about.

June 4, 20196 yr I feel like Cease could have one more start in Charlotte after this but it cannot be long. What else does he have to prove. He has an era thats less than half of the rest of the rotation mainstays at AAA lol
June 4, 20196 yr 25 minutes ago, Jose Abreu said: It isn't confirmed, as it's not something the team can really announce while he still has a scheduled start for Charlotte, but they also have done a pretty bad job at keeping it a secret Yeah, I know the team isn't going to confirm it but I personally have not seen any reliable source say anything to hint it's soon. I heard maybe after the all-star break but nothing concrete. Are we past the super 2 deadline at this point?

He has an era thats less than half of the rest of the rotation mainstays at AAA lol Is there anyway to find ERA+ for minor leaguers? I have to imagine adjusting a 3.26 ERA in that environment would yield some pretty funny results.

June 4, 20196 yr If they give him one more start in AAA, he'd have to debut against the Yankees or Cubs, which would go against their usual philosophy for pitching debuts

June 4, 20196 yr 2 hours ago, Jose Abreu said: Totally agree, it's just better than the alternatives IMO, aside from debuting him on the road or waiting until July (please no) One of our mutual friends (Diet Coke Michigan) said 2 more. I get you points though and they are definitely in line with Sox past history.
June 4, 20196 yr Madrigal off day before the off day...unless he's on his way to Birmingham day game.

They definitely not denying it.

June 5, 20196 yr 6 game hitting streak for Sosa. Has hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games. Robert single. 14 game hitting streak.
