We Couldn't Settle on a Name

[Edgy MD]

Gavin Cecchini's full name: Gavin Glenn Christopher Joseph Cecchini.

The full name of his older brother, Red Sox infielder Garin Cecchini: Garin Cecchini

Cecchini seems to get too little respect for what he did in the minors this year. I think he has the better career than Rosario and it may not be particularly close

[Edgy MD]

It's true, but it's a little hard to draw conclusions from, as

(1) the Mets system generally promotes players from hard-hitting-environment leagues at the bottom of the system into easier hitting leagues toward the top of the system, the player who has gotten promoted the furthest to date has the advantage for presenting a better career; and

(2) the Mets are pushing Amed Rosario a little harder, placing him against competition that has been 3.4 years older than him, on average, while Cecchini has been up against players 2.5 years older than him (both of which are impressive).

I saw him pitch when he was with Cleveland.
And every announcer would tell the listeners Cal's full name every time he pitched. I guess they thought it was funny.

Cecchini had an .819 OPS at AA this year.

That's terrific. You'd have to think he puts up even better numbers in AAA. I think he has the potential to be Xander Boegarts.

[Benjamin Grimm]

If so, we can call him Gavin Glenn Christopher Joseph Xander Boegarts Cecchini.

Like Conforto, Gavin played in the LLWS. The Mets start the scouting early.
