Soxfest Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 MLB.com's Scott Merkin writes that there's a "better-than-average chance" White Sox pitching prospect Carlos Rodon is promoted this season to work as a reliever. It would be the same developmental path Chris Sale took in 2010, and that's worked out pretty well for the Pale Hose. Sale threw 23 1/3 relief innings for the White Sox that year, but he was called up in early August. If he's promoted, Rodon isn't expected to be up until September. The No. 3 overall pick has allowed four runs while striking out 13 over nine innings in his first five pro appearances. For what it's worth, manager Robin Ventura said he hasn't given thought to Rodon being promoted. "I'm not even going down that far," Ventura said. "We are concerned about what's going on right here. If they say he's pitching well enough to come up, then the more the merrier at this point." Source: WhiteSox.mlb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the approach they took today of allowing him to prepare like he was a starter, and then give him a few innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep him in the minors the rest of the year, as he threw a ton of pitches for NC St. Given the fact this team isn't playing for anything the rest of the way, I'm just not a fan of rushing him up.

I like the approach they took today of allowing him to prepare like he was a starter, and then give him a few innings. The Sox might be realising they have to overhaul the entire bullpen in one offseason, and since spending big money on a closer is out of the question they may have to Rodon it for a year.

Well the minor league season ends early September so you may as well let him work in the majors, finish off the year with the team and then prep in the off-season to come into Spring Training as a starter.
