Yup

Cease has a very high ceiling

I think Cease's ceiling is a lot lower than a year ago.  

Cease certainly did not dominate at Charlotte, and he got lit up in the first inning way too often while with Sox.  Lots of hits, lots of walks.  I wouldn't be surprised if he spends some time in AAA this year.

I would be very surprised. 

This supports something a little birdie told me in early December. I swore myself to secrecy.

It’s a lot lower because of 14 starts and 73 MLB innings under his belt? C’mon man. We literally just witnessed Giolito go from the worst pitcher in baseball to one of the best in a single season. Give Cease some more time.
