I've always felt the talent level isn't separated by much from AA to AAA, so I suppose it doesn't matter all that much. He seems to handle adversity very well though. 2 games ago had all those strikeouts. Since then he's had 1 homer and 4 Rbi.. Whether or not he starts in Portland or Pawtucket next season, I think we'll be seeing him in fenway by September of next year IMO
