Why not walk Chisenhall there to load the bases? No confidence in Danks being able to get out of the inning with minimal damage?

 

He's now 4-4 in his career off of Danks. I guess Roberto Perez scared them more.

Something about the combo of Micah's stance and how far he's off the plate that doesn't look like he's in a good position to hit.

When can Rodon be called up and not burn his service time?

 

Friday is the extra year of control deadline. Usually super two deadline (it varies) passes in late may or early June.

So far this Micah and Eaton back to back thing isn't working at all.

Completely agree...seems like he's going to have a very difficult time catching up to fastballs. Seems like he'll be more dangerous against finesse pitchers.

It looks like he's trying to to what Eaton does but you gotta have very good bat control. Not sure Micah does. I'd really like to see him try and pull the ball more. He could develop decent power.

 

Of course in my world he'd probably be down in AAA working on that.

Yeah, he swings all arms

When can Rodon be called up and not burn his service time?

 

He was just drafted so his service time (ala Bryant) is next season. Sox don't play that. Rodon will be up when needed.

Any time these hitters want to start earning their money here

Keep them at 3 and get back in this thing.

This is not true. It has also been detailed many times on the site. He can come up this weekend and Sox control his rights for 7 ML seasons (Including this one).

I know I should know this, but when he comes up this year, the Sox will control his rights for 6 full seasons after this one?

this defense is BRUTAL.

That is what I am saying. They can bring him up now or later or anytime prior to Mid April and still have 7 years of control, no? If I am wrong, gotta a link to it? Thanks!

Wow on that defense.

Yea that is wrong, wrong, wrong. Service time starts the day he's on the 25 man draft year has nothing to do with it. Sale's service time started the year he was drafted.

this defense is BRUTAL.

 

All it's missing is Ian Desmond.

FFS this is not putting me in a good mood at the office.

Our shifts suck. That should be a routine grounder

Yep, hate when they lose day games

But the Sox aren't keeping him down for service time reasons

Rodon is starting next Wednesday. Calling it now.

So Rodon and Bryant fall in the same position right? I heard bryant getting called up this friday

They have plausible deniability -- but if you think they don't know that keeping him down 3 weeks at any point this season gives them another year of guaranteed control (on a Boras client nonetheless), well, your head is in the sand imo.

Did the Sox ever win more than three in a row last year?
