Nice debut, Cesar.In his MLB debut - against the first-place Dadgers on a night they could clinch the division title, no less - Cesar threw 5 innings, giving up 4 hits and 1 earned run. He also K'd 2, including Manny to end an inning with runners on base.
It was only one start, but Cesar now becomes another young Padres pitcher that has earned a shot to make the 2010 rotation by way of a strong outing this September. All of a sudden it's a crowded field of candidates: Chris Young, Kevin Correia, Tim Stauffer, Sean Gallagher, Clayton Richard, Aaron Poreda, Mat Latos, Cesar Ramos, Wade LeBlanc, Josh Geer, Edward Mujica, Cesar Carrillo, and probably a few others I'm not thinking of.
Jerry Coleman - or maybe it was Ted Leitner - said it the other night: Spring Training is going to be very very interesting.
