It is what it is
Leake definately has minor league options, but he also has a MLB contract, meaning his salary doesn't drop when he goes to AAA, as opposed to a guy like Cingrani, who gets a MLB minimum salary pro- rated when he's up, and gets a decrease to AAA wages when he goes down...not that it should be a deciding factor or anything.
I have a more cynical reason for believing Leake wont be sent to AAA- I think Dusty would take it as an indictment that he made a miscalculation on his rotation to begin with this spring, and he never admits or corrects a mistake.
