There is no doubt in my mind that they would've preferred Rodon. Unfortunately, Schwarber worked out for them too.

September 25, 201510 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 02:01 PM) Why? If he had any defensive value then I could understand it, but he can't hit lefties and would be our DH. After his hot start he's hitting .159/.278/.402 in his last 30 games with 40 Ks. The White Sox should regret about a lot of moves these last few years, but drafting Rodon is not one of them. Even considering our offensive struggles and Schwarber's potential. We should actually be appreciative Houston and Miami gave us no other premier (at that time) pitcher to choose from.
September 25, 201510 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 01:59 PM) Honestly I'd probably take Schwarber over Rodon. No way I still like Rodon better long term.
September 26, 201510 yr If Rodon pitched for the Cubs, he'd be 3rd-6th. The pedestrian numbers the first half of the year caused a lot of writers to go to sleep on him and they're only just noticing his numbers again now since everyone ignores the White Sox (of course, you make the same arguments for ignoring the Twins and Indians as well).
