I wear my Meatball Badge with honor.
Cease is creeping his way into that conversation as well. We will see how he handles the stretch run.
I still believe Kopech will be a very good MLB pitcher, in time. He's too talented and you saw it during his call-up before the game he tore the UCL. He's definitely in my doghouse a bit, though. He has to earn the love back - but I still have high hopes.
I thought Dunning's stuff looked decent too. Way too small of a sample size, though.
Cease panning out to even just a reasonable 3/4/5 type starter would be pretty big for us...Anyone on the roster currently doing that (Dunning, Kopech, Cease) would take a huge load off and have us getting away with just one strong pitching signing this offseason. Small sample size, like you say, but I was intrigued by Dunning after his debut. I'm pulling for that guy. I guess I'm a sucker for glasses. lulz
