We are lucky enough to have a SWB report from BigGuy tonight. He won't be doing these all the time by when he does I will post them. Thanks BG for the great contributions.

Called the Michael Kay show today to welcome him back(I try to get in once a week, fun to do while im drivin the van for work) and talk about Aceves, since I knew Rasner starting today would prompt starting pitching trade talks.

I told him he was a 25 yr old gem we snatched from the Mexican League and he's mowed down the opposition on all levels in the minors thus far and is currently being stretched out so he can finish the year strong, and suggested at first folley from Razz he should be called up, as opposed to a trade.

Kay agreed that Cash was very high on him and is doing everything in his power to solve our problems from within, and thanked me for introducing the idea to the public since no one knows the guys name yet and then talked about who he was n where he came from.

So according to Peter Abraham, Cash was at the Scranton game watching Aceves. I think were all on the same page now. Thanks again for the minor league coverage, it makes convos like these easy to have, feel better.

First of all thank you, I feel much better.

Second, good job. Way to get people aware of this guy. They still have him on a pitch count, so he's still two or three starts away from being ready, but when he is, he should get a chance.
