This is really encouraging. i think it may be too early to bring EJ up, but i would let him continue to build up his confidence. then in july, if needed, and he is still doing well. bring up for a little test run.

With the need for a 6th starter next week (assuming Sale and Shark drop their suspensions), a lack of off days, and two doubleheaders (the second the day after the all star break), the Sox are almost in a position where they need 6 starters. Maybe not a straight 6-man rotation, but between next Tuesday and July 17, I would mind if they use Johnson in there. Maybe he knocks Noesi out of the rotation.

Dick Allen Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:32 AM) Do the Sox know they're allowed to release Jared Mitchell? Unless he is taking someone's spot, there are plenty of non prospects in Charlotte. Once they need the space, I'm sure he's at the top of the list or pretty close to be let go.

Once they need the space, I'm sure he's at the top of the list or pretty close to be let go. They already kind of did this by bringing up Coats. That's the warning shot. I'd be surprised if Mitchell isn't gone (or back to BHAM again) very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His option is already used for this year so it doesn't matter. Rodon wasn't optioned at the end of spring training because he's never been on the 40-man before 9 days ago. Not that there's much risk of him being optioned out the next three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILMOU Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 10:01 AM) We'll see what happens, but if EJ has his confidence back, I think they should strike while the iron is hot. Yes, EJ, the 2013 and possible current version, is a few levels in talent above Scott Carroll, who I view as more of an "emergency" type. Either way, EJ's comeback can give the staff depth we didn't think we had a few weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
