Ok outing for Ranuado today: got through 5.2 with only 2 hits and 6/1 K/BB before allowing a HR, and back to back doubles
finishes at: 6.0 IP, 5 hits, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 2 HRA
33.0 IP, 20 hits, 3 HRA, 7 BB, 36 K, 1.64 ERA on the season
Cecchini 2-4 HR & 2B
He's putting on some bulk and the power is being on display. Scouts have him as our best pure hitter in the system.
Not to mention the Carolina league really suppresses power, so the fact that he is hitting bombs there is a bigger deal than other leagues.
I still think he gets packaged in a deal for a big stick. Still wouldn't surprise me if the Sox put together a package for Stanton.
Cecchini is having a Bradley esque season in A+.
He is hitting LHP this year, .375/.444/.594
When did Bradley got promoted last season, late May?
Bradley got promoted on June 18 th.

That's his game log from last year
It means our prospects are going to come up and replace Ellsbury because he sucks so badly.
Nice outings again from RDLR and Barnes:
RDLR (AAA): 4.0 IP, 1 hit, 0 ER, 2 BB, 7 K
That's 4 straight scoreless outings and the numbers look like: 14.0 IP, 8 hits, 0 ER, 4 BB, 19 K
Barnes (AA): 5.0 IP, 3 hits, 1 ER, 3 BB, 7 K
Last 3 starts: 17.0 IP, 11 hits, 2 ER, 6 BB, 21 K
Bogaerts (AA): 1.036 OPS in May thus far, .304/.386/.464/.850 overall
Ruby could come up now and serve as the long man. He really has bullpen written to him.
No doubt he could be a weapon in the bullpen now but disagree that he has bullpen written on him. They are limiting his pitch counts to 70 pitches but he could probably be going 6 innings if he was on a normal pitch count. Thus far, hitters aren't hitting him even after seeing him more than once.
If he can get his slider to be an average pitch then he's definitely a starter. Already has two plus pitches (FB and changeup).
Cecchini is just absolutely dominating right now.
2/3 with a 2B and a HR yesterday. It's really just not fair.
His line this year: .371/.476/.675, 5 HR (previous career high was 4), 12 2B, 4 3B, 11 SB 20:17 BB:K. That's all in 32 games.
