caulfield12 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) 8. Carlos Rodon, LHP, Giants: Drafted with the No. 3 overall pick back in 2014, Rodon was heralded as a potential top-of-the-rotation arm for the White Sox He eventually achieved that status, but not until the seventh year of his Major League career. For Rodon’s first six years, he was an oft-injured power arm who’d flash ace potential but lacked both the consistency and the durability to get there. Durability remains a concern after Rodon pitched just 36 innings over the 2021 season’s final 10 weeks due to shoulder fatigue. He remained effective during that time but worked with a diminished fastball and was not given a qualifying offer by the White Sox — despite his elite production (on a per-inning basis). But what Rodon has done since that 2021 breakout is prove that he is, when healthy, a bona fide No. 1 starter. Over his past 177 1/3 innings, Rodon has a 2.64 ERA with a dominant 34.5% strikeout rate against just a 7.4% walk rate. Since Opening Day 2021, Rodon leads all Major League pitchers (min. 100 innings) in strikeout percentage. He ranks 10th in swinging-strike rate and owns the eighth-lowest opponents’ contact rate on pitches inside the strike zone. Rodon can opt out of the second year and $22.5MM on his current contract if he pitches 110 innings this season. If he can make 30 starts this year, there’s probably a five-year deal waiting for him in free agency — especially when considering the fact that he won’t turn 30 until December. These numbers for the FA rankings are just through May 25th…Carlos should actually be higher ranked than the 8th best FA now, challenging or even surpassing Musgrove and deGrom as most sought after pitcher. mlbtraderumors.com Edited June 29, 2022 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Best June pitcher: Giants veteran Carlos Rodón started six games in June, giving up just five earned runs across them. Three of those starts featured eight or more strikeouts and four of them had one or fewer walks, resulting in a 1.25 ERA and 1.88 FIP.

caulfield12 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Rodon probably will blame bad start on letdown of not being able to face White Sox on Sunday…and umpiring. His wife at least will go that route. At least she’s consistent in her complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to stop with the excuses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Trayce is up to a 107 wRC+ after tonight's good game. Maybe the Sox can trade Pollock for him. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 His career is basically over imo. He'll probably pitch under 300 innings until he retires. I bet they convert him to a reliever next offseason and he bitches and moans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
