6/27 ML Gameday Thread: Rubby for the PawSox

It's been really cool watching Rubby's progression. The first couple starts he looked like all arm and you thought he could be destined for the pen. Now he's been pitching instead of simply throwing and though he's still a tad wild he's been dominating. He still may eventually end up in the pen, but he's earned the chance to get a few major league starts.



In his last 10 starts he's pitched 43 innings with a .84 ERA and has K'd a batter per inning. His last start he pitched a shutout with no BB's.


I think he could contribute right now.

GCL box is live.

Hamilton was replaced when the suspended game restarted and isn't playing in the scheduled game, making me think he might be headed back to Pawtucket.

How the hell they'll fit him on the roster, I've got no idea. Probably Holt to the DL (hasn't played in 10 days).

Had the same thought.

Well we would most certainly not be true prospect followers if we didn't get Cecchini in with unlimited votes.

I was wondering the same thing yesterday, probably voted like a thousand times while asking myself if any of the votes actually counted.

Rubby with a great night. 5 2/3 6k/0bb 6 H 0 R

Looks like Mets fans are way more into stuffing the ballot box than we are.

It actually tells you the time of your last vote. If you don't see that, you didn't vote.

Kukuk removed after 1.1 after giving up a home run. Interesting.

Yup. Saw the rain delay as well.

Also, anyone seen Almanzar more than once this month? That 16%K rate is not awful, nor is the roughly 8% walk rate when taken together with his pop (31 XBH in 302 PAs). I wonder how he'd look at either 2nd base (if they are predicated on trading him) or LF if they are thinking about keeping him. Does he have any foot speed?
