TAMPA — For a young man who has yet to pitch in the major leagues, Luis Cessa can play a pretty mean game of “Six Degrees of Separation.”
He has been traded for both Yoenis Cespedes and Justin Wilson. He has worked under the employ of five general managers (Omar Minaya, Sandy Alderson, Dave Dombrowski, Al Avila and now Brian Cashman). Terry Collins was once his field coordinator and Wally Backman once his manager, and former teammates include Steven Matz, Kevin Plawecki and minor league home run king Mike Hessman.
