shysocks Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 16, 2014 -> 10:47 PM) Rodon was promoted to AAA Charlotte tonight. Was a little bit surprised when I saw that reported. Does this mean they're fast-tracking him to the Sox in September? Speculate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Ya, I'd be a little surprised is he doesn't get called up now....The next question will be, does he pitch outta the bullpen next year, like Sale did, or do they start him right away?

Zero chance he pitches out of the bullpen next year, not with Boras as his agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So putting him in the bullpen in Sept is irrelevant to his arb clock. Exactly. There's no chance he's in our bullpen next year. We have at least two holes in our rotation and very few internal options to fill them. Both of these holes provide a much larger hurdle to being competitive than a left-handed reliever. Maybe they decide in spring training he needs more time in the minors, but either way he'll be a starter next year. The Chris Sale situation was the exception, not the rule.

I'm just very hesitant to hand out big deals to the likes of Masterson or Shields that we'll likely regret in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The Sox have $46M in payroll commitments for next year. If they think they can compete, which starting the year with Rodon would imply, then they'll definitely spend some money this offseason. That means adding a starting pitcher that is much better than Noesi (or Danks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Well, some way or the other, they've got to do better than Hector Noesi as the #3 starter coming into next year if they want anyone to take them seriously as a threat, or if they want to sell any season tickets. Â As Alexei Ramirez is currently our only valuable trade chip who can possibly be traded (for a decent return)...yet...at the same time, pushing Rodon up quickly means the window starts next year, then they have ZERO choice but to spend money this off-season. Â Maybe you can trade Viciedo for someone like a Maurer, but then another hole in the line-up pops up if you do that. Â Perhaps they trade Danks for Edwin Jackson and hope against all hope that Cooper can get him straightened out again...haven't watched Jackson enough this season to know if the stuff he had 4 years ago is still there or not, how much is mental/psychological, etc. Edited August 18, 2014 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in a veteran LH bat like Markakis or VMart and that is a serious playoff contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
