Unless there's an injury or the Sox record is so bad the first 50 games that a change has to happen, I don't want them to think about bringing Rodon up until at least June 1.

 

It shouldn't be as simple as Rodon is better than Danks or Noesi right now.

 

Give him 10 starts in Charlotte, and see where it stands then.

I read between the lines of things that are said, and I feel like the odds are really high that he is in the Sox rotation in 2016.

Yup

Yup

 

And to contrast that, no matter what Carlos Rodon states to the press, I see no scenario that keeps him in Chicago past his initial trip to free agency.

I suspect we will see on the east coast after his initial stint with the Sox.

3 world series wins in a row, huge revenue boost, sold out stadium every night, then TV contract comes up in 2019.

Counting the Dodgers and Angels out already?

Makes teh big market teams all of the more likely to throw $500 million at him. (or whatever ridiculous amount contracts are up to seven years down the road)

I agree.

Has anyone noticed interviews with Rodon seem really uncomfortable? He comes across as a bit aloof IMO.

He does seem like a drillrod.

 

Also blew off Rongey Tuesday and Thursday, which isn't cool. Hopefully he'll get better with that.

 

That said, 6-7 years of being an ace makes up for it.

Yep.

 

And I'm perfectly okay with that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they picked him, but the drillrod description above, just from interviews which is cherry picking, does seem appropriate.

 

If he blew off Rongey, that ain't right.

Rodon: 'Whatever they need to see so I can be in position to pitch for them, so be it. If I have to wear my underwear inside out I'll do it'

Who woudn't blow off Rongey? Maybe Carlo and his ex listened to enough post-game shows last year to get their fill of his act.

 

Cooper treats him with barely disguised disdain and nobody makes much of anything about it.

They need you to pitch in AAA for 15-30 days, Carlos. That's it.

What you say absolutely does not make it right to blow someone in the media off. I hope someone straightened the kid out if he did do this. It just isn't a professional way to handle things.

Yeah, yeah, I know, "professional obligations," another subsegment of the responsibility of being a ballplayer for the White Sox, part of the family, etc.

 

I'm sure he will end up coming around. But it's nice to see Rongey put in his place sometimes. Now if he did that to Merkin, I would be more aggravated, as sometimes Rongey just comes off as too entitled or judgmental when dealing with the fanbase. Exasperated. For whatever reason, I don't see him as "one of us" like I do Harrelson, for example.

 

 

Hawkins came out of his immaturity period, seemingly. Rodon will, too. Or they'll end up banished like Jon Rauch.

Cooper treats all of his required media appearances like that. Rongey is a really funny and nice guy, he doesnt deserve how he gets treated by Cooper

Carlos Rodon said he "eventually" would be up w/ #WhiteSox, appreciated honesty from Rick Hahn and Robin Ventura. http://bit.ly/1MpDJGF

Rodon is supposed to be on with Rongey again tonight (6-8 show).

 

Somehow, I think he'll make it this time.

Neckrolls got me really excited about the future rotation. His slider is Chris Sale-esque. So pumped to see how he does this year. Three aces and a #2 in one rotation... Oh my

Post game hosts need to be like that at times. There are far too many goofs that call in. If I has to answer the questions he did repeatedly I would lose my temper much more often. There is only so many times you can answer why Ventura pulled a pitcher if favor of the bullpen without screaming THE ENTIRE BP SUCKS SO WHO DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO PUT IN.

Bernie Pleskoff raving about Rodon http://m.mlb.com/cws/video/topic/52577744/...e-sox/?c_id=cws

I still can't believe the Sox got him.

 

Oh and Pleskoff is out of his mind if he truly believes Rodon has no flaws and is going to K 12 to 13 per 9 this year.

Edited April 1, 201511 yr by Kalapse

Think the word raving is an understatement based on the way Pleskoff was speaking on Rodon.

 

It really seems all too good to be true. As I've said before, with Sale-Q-Rodon all around for at least the next 3 years, things become so much easier to build around.

 

Try at least 5.

Or 6.
