Timmy U Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Tank is really on. I get not bringing up Kopech, but Rodon? Don’t tell Jose but now they’re not even trying to disguise that they’re not trying. First pick, here we come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox already have enough 4-5inning pitchers and Rodon when he is healthy doesnt go deep in games. Edited June 2, 2018 by ptatc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Yea I don’t think they are holding him back for the tank, this is purely building up his game stamina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hadn’t taken that liner off his head he probably wouldn’t need another minor league start, but that obviously was going to set him back.

BlackSox13 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I think Rodon only threw 80-85 pitches in his last start so building him back up makes a ton of sense and has nothing to do with tin foil hat tanking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw most of his last start in person. He threw 86 pitches, I believe, over 5 innings. He was absolutely cruising through 3 2/3, with 7 K's and no hits, and then threw a really wild pitch and looked like he might have pulled something. Stayed in after a mound visit, but walked a couple and gave up 3 or 4 hits before he left the game. I definitely think giving him another rehab start is justifiable.

LittleHurt05 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 He's one of the two most important arms in your entire system and he's coming off a long injury. Of course you take your time with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Keep in mind that spring training is something like 6 weeks of ramping up into shape. This will make like two weeks worth of rehab starts, plus whatever he did at extended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 There is a tweet out there that said Rodon is with the team in Minneapolis. No idea how reliable it is, so I didn't share it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 He threw just under 100 pitches, what else do you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 How about he pitches great for 6 weeks and the Sox flip him for an A- prospect? That would be sweet. I don't have much faith in his shoulder and I don't have any faith he'll be around post 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly adds a bit more to the "he's a bit of a knucklehead" theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's all kinds of reasons that people are late for flights, some are good and some aren't. I don't think you have nearly enough info here to hold it against him.

It usually involves game times and rehab times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just speculation of course and it's just a data point. Hey made the flight, great. Hope to see him on the mound this week for the Sox.
