Dick Allen Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Latos has been better his last 2 outings. Gonzalez got away with walking the leadoff guy a bunch his last start. I would imagine if Latos doesn't pitch up to snuff, Gonzalez replaces him. I don't see what is wrong with that. Latos gets the first crack.

Thomas_Ventura_Roberts Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yes. Giving Latos the first opportunity seems to make sense. If Latos doesn't prove worthy of the 5th spot in the rotation, they can always move Gonzalez back into the rotation. I would not be surprised that, as the season goes along, the Sox also think other pitchers in the minors might be ready to give the 5th spot a try too.

southsider2k5 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 This is the one way the Sox can hold on to both pitchers. This is roster management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is roster management. Not true. Gonzalez has an option left (options are good for a full season). Unless you meant just on the 25-man roster in general than yes it is.

Soxfest Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Latos could be out with some bad starts, Gonzalez could take spot easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Long term - I get it. If Latos was immediately sent to the pen, I could see him becoming a real asshole about it. Hopefully this lights a fire under his ass or allows him to accept a demotion to the pen should he fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just going to say this. Latos probably can't take being sent to the bullpen without some major meltdown or flipping out on someone. Miguel is probably a lot more likely to swallow his pride and just do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yeah, no complaints with this move. Both have been serviceable but Sox seem to play well when Latos pitches and we can hold on to both pitchers this way. No brainer. If Latos struggles, yank Him.
