Ducksnort Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 QUOTE (daggins @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 06:59 PM) Q Rodon MiGo Shields Holland I think I heard some reporters saying they wanted Rodon to be the 5th day starter. If that's the case and I heard right, then i think Rodon would go to the bottom and it will be Q, MiGo, Shields, Holland, Rodon. Really, does it matter the order they put the rotation in after Q? lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing there is that he isn't going to block anyone if they're ready come June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Lopez will replace low man on the totem pole in June, then make that guy the long man in the pen. Edited March 22, 2017 by Soxfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Mar 21, 2017 -> 05:16 PM) According to beat writers, he showed a commitment to a routine and approach despite the bad start. That's a very encouraging sign, usually when players struggle they start to tinker and end up making things worse. The fact he did that bodes well for his development going forward Gordon Beckham has to be the poster child for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 4th he K'd Choo, Beltre and Odor . 3 hits, 1 BB, 6 K This was really nice to see. Typically in spring training the hitters are ahead of pitchers. I would be really curious if anyone got velocity readings from Shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
