September 2, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 01:04 PM) I'll take a guess: Rienzo, Surkamp, Bassitt, Carroll, Thompson, Veal, Phegley, Semien, Taylor, Danks, Mitchell, and Rodon. Veal and Taylor aren't on the 40-man. They only cleared out Molina, presumably to add Rodon. But the rest, yeah. Expecting those 10.

Why wouldn't they want to get a look at Taylor? I'd actually rather see Taylor get OF at-bats than Viciedo at this point.

September 2, 201411 yr Author White Sox recall Bassitt, Carroll, Danks. Phegley, Semien, Surkamp. Purchase contract of OF Michael Taylor. When Rienzo went deep yesterday, I had a feeling he might be left off. Edited September 2, 201411 yr by flavum
September 2, 201411 yr Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 15s White Sox 7 moves: Recall Bassitt, Carroll, Danks, Phegley, Semien, Surkamp. Purchase contract OF Michael Taylor from Charlotte. No Rodon.
September 2, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 12:24 PM) Weeeell, we're waiting.... Hang in there Ted Knight!
September 2, 201411 yr No Rodon is a bit of a surprise, but I'm fine with that....Also cool with Taylor over Mitchell. I wanna continue to see Noesi get starts so it would appear that Bassitt gets Carrolls starts. Unless they shut Danks down or went with a 6 man rotation there wasn't gonna be room for both Bassitt and Rodon. We kinda already know what to expect with Rodon but Bassitt is still a mystery.
September 2, 201411 yr Really happy to see Taylor. I'm hoping he gets an extended look and significant playing time.
September 2, 201411 yr Can someone ask to interview Buddy Bell about Jared Mitchell's prospect status, haha?
September 2, 201411 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 01:49 PM) Really wanted to see Rodon and Mitchell Agreed, and actually quite shocked.
September 2, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 01:57 PM) That's disappointing in an entertainment way. Well said.
September 2, 201411 yr South Side Sox says Rodon can still be called up since he is due to pitch next 9/4
September 2, 201411 yr Did Winston-Salem make the playoffs? Is there a minor league team where Rodon could be headed? Doesn't make sense to hype the very likely possibility of Rodon pitching in September, just as a tease. Maybe they figured they could draw more Tigers/Royals/Indians fans to USCF than any Sox fans who would specifically come out to see a Rodon start.

Seems kind of crazy, he has been at what, 4 levels already this season?
September 2, 201411 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 02:08 PM) Source/link? Or just conjecture? Based on what? based on peavy44 gut feeling. I will put this one next to "Adam Dunn will not be traded this year"
September 2, 201411 yr Author Great Falls is the only minor league team left playing, and will be in the playoffs. Rodon would have been called up today if he were coming up at all. His season is over. Edited September 2, 201411 yr by flavum

I actually think there would be a lot of value to letting him start a playoff game for the Dash, although it's a bit frowned upon to use a pitcher who really wasn't with the minor league team much during the regular season, and especially a pitcher who's closer to the big leagues than A ball in terms in talent/ability/refinement. That said, the minors are all about development and less about statistical results, so nothing would surprise me with the way he's bounced around...rumors he's going to pitching in Chicago in September, come out of the bullpen like Sale, start next season in the rotation, etc. Not seeing him at all at the major league level this year's going to make assessing his readiness to go in April, 2015, a bit dubious, at best. If they start talking about holding him back like Kris Bryant until June, then I'm going to start to doubt there's a plan to "go for it, almost all in" for 2015 and that 2016's still the target date.
