pcq Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Granted we are rebuilding but almost everything went backwards this year. We found Palka, Lopez strong finish and TA's glove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Rodon wasn't missing bats before the last few games where he has imploded. Certainly don't expect the Sox FO to meet an Astros, Brewers, As, Braves, Rockies, Phillies (despite the collapse) rebuild timetable. That would mean 2020 (and in some cases 2019) and would be completely unfair. Edited September 30, 2018 by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean 2020 (and in some cases 2019) and would be completely unfair. Expand 2020 was unfair the day Kopech got hurt. If Kopech was a true ace at the top of the rotation, Kopech in full year 2, Lopez, Rodon, Giolito, and Cease and others as rookies - that's a rotation that could be the best in the league. That's a rotation that could be great. Rodon, Lopez, Giolito, a recovering Kopech, and Cease and Rookies at the back - that could be a tolerable rotation, but it's not carrying you to the playoffs, so you better have a great offense and defense, and we won't. So, If Rodon becomes tradeable for the right price next year, that's why moving him is the right move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Except for the draft pick, there's almost nothing to be excited about in the offseason, other than Jimenez. Hopefully the Royals are dumb enough to pass on (B)adley to the Bone, but Sal Perez is already a few years past his prime to be Royals to be considering position foremost with the #2.

Dick Allen Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 So the Sox commercial states the best is yet to come. I would hope so considering 95 losses last year, 99 or 100 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's a major rotation part, it's for 2021 alone and nothing else because then he'll hit free agency and as I said above, I seriously doubt the 2020 roster. The only way he's re-signable is if he isn't better than a mid-rotation starter, which is what he is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
