Agree it's an unlikely scenario but I assure you it doesn't matter that Noesi has 0 options. The Sox aren't going to protect a 27 year old sudden journeyman who has shown little indication of turning into a quality starter over one of their own 25 year old prospects that has found nice success at the MLB level.

There's no way in hell the Sox choose Noesi over Rienzo assuming results keep steady.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 23, 2014 -> 11:11 AM) So, 2 QS and one start against the Cubs you deemed "good", and you say he is terrible? Yes he's been terrible. He's been a lot more lucky than good which is funny because he hasn't been good at all. His whip is unsustainable for someone to keep in the rotation long. Hopefully it comes way down tonight. The defense being poor for him is fair but he needs to pitch over it as well.

We can try to spin it all we want but he's been terrible outside his second start against the Cubs. First start he wasn't stretched out at all to be fair and died by giving up 4er and 6 baserunners in just 3.2 IP. Next start he was good. 5 IP with 6ks and 5 baserunners. 3rd start was technically a quality one but he gave up 8 hits and 3 walks in just 6 IP. Can't keep that up. 4th start was more of the same except without the luck. 8 hits, 3 walks, 6 runs 5 earned. Hope he turns it around tonight since I have first row seats.

I don't think anyone wants to pass on Rodon either. Talk cooled on him here because he's not very likely to be at 3.

Edit: I actually post on another forum with him. I knew he was a big Star Wars geek who hated the prequels and bashed them every opportunity. I just went to go check out his thoughts from 2010 and saw he edited every one of his posts yesterday after it was announced he would be writing the next film, lol.

I think that may have been the best I've ever seen Sale

It's really neither here nor there but saw it on twitter and thought it was great:

Yep, pure ego stroke here. Extension or not, if they bomb in Brazil I can see him canned because of it. Also hurts exposure when soccer in the us can use it most. The average American sports fan knows one soccer player and he's now gone.

He looked out Nvm alexei sucked on that tag.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 22, 2014 -> 08:17 PM) So if Sale still has a no hitter after 7 innings, but has thrown 110 pitches.....Does Robin take him out? I hope so Of course not

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 22, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) I know there's the 100 pitch limit today but I'd really like to see him go at least 7 He's throwing 150 pitch perfecto breh

Chris Sale looks way better than Chris Sale tonight

Can't wait for 140 pitch perfect game

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ May 22, 2014 -> 07:46 PM) A grand slam from Eaton here would be huge. Especially with only two guys on base

Wait are they seriously asking Larry Rothschild about pitch count expertise.

De Aza so good

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 22, 2014 -> 05:13 PM) Donovan hasn't scored a single goal for LA this year. He just isn't very good anymore. A 7 game sample size is really not indicative of that.

Whaaaaa

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ May 22, 2014 -> 12:47 PM) People really think Rienzo has more upside than Santiago? Rienzo has looked good but if one of them has a shot at being a #3 in MLB on talent alone it's Santiago. A few months ago had the Sox done Eaton for Rienzo instead of Eaton for Santiago I imagine that would have been quite the headscratcher to most Sox fans wondering why the DBacks would give Eaton away like that, as it was the trade looked pretty even. Yeah pretty much. Santiago peripherals are a lot better and his one knock against him (going long into games) hasn't shown to be a strength of Rienzo yet either

QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 22, 2014 -> 10:45 AM) No. There isn't even a lock at 1-1 in this draft. Calling a lock at 44 would be absurd. I was just kidding based on the whole Sox and their nepotism. That said I would love the pick, albeit I'm uninformed. According to most mocks he seems to be going in the late first. Considering he's only listed at 1b and given the drafts and scouts love for position flexibility, that makes me believe he has to have one of the best bats in the entire draft. Sign me up. Don't care that we have a young glut of potential 1B/DH types with Abreu, Viciedo, Garcia, Davidson, and Ravelo.
