fathom Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Jul 20, 2017 -> 02:46 AM) Rodon, if he figures it out, will take a while. He will be in the 26-28 age range if he ever does. He might make a journeyman career with pitching coaches thinking they can get the most out of his stuff if he never figures it out. Unfortunately, if he figures it out, it will be too late for the Sox. He will have either been traded or it will be year or two of good pitching before he walks. I'm not so sure he's going to be a pitcher that ages well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 06:34 PM) Nope but he, along with Anderson, are the guys you hope to see progress as the year goes on Yeah, I am going to try and be patient with him...definitely something to be alarmed about if this continues for the rest of the year.

If only we could have taken our time developing him, but we had to save that 2015 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like hes making his 4th start or something Next they will try and blame an injury for his lack of sharpness and claim he was building up strength and consistency. .

Jack Parkman Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 08:51 PM) I'm not so sure he's going to be a pitcher that ages well May I ask why? I could see him as a young Max Scherzer (glass half full) or a journeyman back of rotation guy(glass half empty) or he could be a reliever. Scherzer had horrible command/some injury problems early in his career, which led to Arizona trading him to Detroit.

Just not sure if he can pull off the finesse style when he loses a few mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 24, coming off an injury that's held him out most of the year, and pitching against the best team in baseball. I'm pretty sure this one rough outing doesn't doom him to failure.

They learn and take their developmental lumps now, the team gets a higher draft pick, they're good and accompanied by more talent in competitive years. It's win/win.

I agree that he has too much talent to never figure it out; just not sure that it will happen here. Edited July 20, 2017 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
