ORS is right on. The kid was a reliever in college, and this is the end pretty much of his first half season as a pro. He isnt stretched out and stretching him out right now is useless. So keep him on the 2IP schedule and build his endurance next season.

Also, not sure if this is how the sox do it, but the yankees typically leave their drafted pitchers on the exact same schedule and do not touch their mechanics for 30 days after they sign. After that they will tinker with the mechanics yet keep them on a similar pitch count that they were on in college/HS. It seems like a solid approach and may be how the sox do it since Hagadone has started a bit slow and has come on recently.
