But if the Sox make it past the 1 game playoff of the 2nd WC no Rodon . How do they treat Rodon if the Sox pull even to get into the playoffs or are within a game and 1 team above them with 2 weeks or less in the season ? Erik Johnson's workload has to be watched too as does Sale's .
It becomes more apparent why the Sox kept Samardzija . They really need him should they make it to a 5 or 7 game playoff series.
Well, if they're going to do that, now is the time. It wouldn't bother me if they just had him pitch on the side for a few turns, try to work on some mechanical issues, and be strong to finish...with the hope that postseason is still there.
No word on Thompson yet, BTW. Probably at 10am.
