Better then nothing, but the problem is that if he starts in the bullpen then it will take 2-3 weeks (I'm guessing) to stretch him back out to a starter.

Woah!

Sigh.

As a fan though....

wow, wasn't expecting this. Have a feeling if Noesi has a bad start, Rodon will then be in the rotation. What I don't get is that there's absolutely no need for him in the bullpen right now, as lefty relief and Robertson is the only thing going well for the team.

So who gets sent down for Rodon and Petricka? Dbrabek for sure...

I hate wasting any service time coming out of the bullpen, but I have a feeling it will be a very short-term bullpen stint to preserve his innings. WhiteSox need to clear a 40 man spot and 2 25 man roster spots before tomorrow. Drabek will surely be DFA but not sure what the other move will be.

Phantom DL stint for someone probably

We don't need 3 good lefty relievers. He won't be in the 'pen for long.

Given how bad the Indians are vs LHP, probably would have made more sense to start him in this series.

What in unbelievably stupid move. Just when I thought they were starting to make smart decisions.

The only thing that really matters when it comes to service time is years, days mean little unless you're. Worried about super 2 which really isn't a big deal. If they were planning on calling him up this season then doing it in April is No different than doing it in June.

I truly think they just want to hold off on saying Noesi's out of the rotation if he has a bad start this week.

Drabek? More like TripleA-Bek.

It better be 1-2 appearances from the pen....let Danks & Noesi s*** themselves 1 last time...then he makes the next start for one of them.

 

Anything else and this team is a joke

Starter or nothing move Danks or Noesi out.

I trust Hahn to make the right decisions with Rodon. If he stays for more than a few weeks in the bullpen, then that's a ridiculous decision.

Get his feet wet in the majors, limit his innings and strengthen the bullpen, his handedness means little, he's dominant against all hitters. When Noesi faulters again he slides into the rotation. I don't love this plan but there's SOME logic to it.

This.

 

Noesi is one bad start away from becoming the long man out of the pen.

There's like 14 million reasons Danks is safe for now.

This isn't a true Rodon thread until someone spells his name wrong.

32 million is more like it.
