I realize this is going to come across as a spitting-fire hot take, but ... not an ace. Thinks he's an ace. Been told by Boras he's an ace. Aces don't give up 24 total hits in the span of six days.

<t>By far the main reason for this recent surge is the stabilized rotation simply throwing strikes.

I'd really like to hear Cervelli's honest thoughts on A-Rod. ... Francisco is such a class act, though, that there's no way he'd publicly discuss them.
