Has he played baseball before or is Hahn just hoping Hectors brother can pitch?

Let's go back to 2013, lol...he's had a ton of injuries since that time.

 

He also walked an astronomical 7.6 batters per 9, which was the main reason for his 1.40 WHIP, but it was a dominating season nonetheless. Following his 2011 season, Rondon found himself skyrocketed up prospect rankings lists, as scouts finally caught a glimpse of an overpowering fastball and projectable secondaries. As we're all undoubtedly aware, Rondon spent 2012 across 3 levels (A+, AA, and AAA). Over those 3 levels, he accrued 53 innings with a 1.53 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 11.2 K/9, and 4.4 BB/9. He will be given every opportunity to win the closers' job for the Tigers in spring training, and certainly looks to be the Tigers closer of the future.

Nope, if the 2007 White Sox taught us anything.

The 2007 White Sox also taught us that one good April of flamethrowers, does not a reincarnation of the Nasty Boys make. They had some arms that year, they had a decent April and then couldn't find the plate the rest of the year and got torched.

I will feel bad for whoever is the Pre/Postgame host because callers won't know the difference between Bruce Rondon and Carlos Rodon, should Bruce make the team.

 

I'm glad the Hawks never had the Dano/Danault problem (they were both traded) because Foley would have had his brains scrambled daily.

Imagine if Jose Rondon makes the team.

This guy has pitched fewer innings than Nate Jones in the past 4 seasons. I see lots of optimism about this, but I don't expect much. I hope I'm wrong.

It is a lot of enthusiasm for a negative WAR player. The ultimate "flyer" player.
