To be honest I don't think anyone on this staff, with Giolito's current performance, is an MLB starter. That includes Rodon. Speaking of Noodle Arms.....WTF was that from Eloy.

Let's just drop it and hope for the best with Lucas. He's not. That would be Moncada. If Rodon threw 94-96 and had any idea where his fastball was going it would be him. Rodon in his current iteration is a bullpen arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 At least it looks like Happ can give up some runs. And the Sox should be able to put one or two in the seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t say anyone else on the staff has an above average pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that keeps him there is that both his slider and slurve are both ++. IMO he'd be a lights out bullpen piece. He misses bats but he doesn't throw enough strikes. Even before he was injured, Rodon struggled to get to the 5th without 85+ pitches. Edited April 13, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season's Rodon was a mid rotation guy(#3-4) , with the potential for more. Rodon in 2019 is a bullpen arm. Rodon's not going to get away with throwing 91. To be fair, Giolito doesn't throw enough strikes either, but he has more than 2 pitches. Rodon has 2 great breaking balls, but his fastball and changeup are well below average in 2019.

elrockinMT Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I am baffled by the fact that our pitching struggles in the 1st and 2nd innings constantly and that has been past seasons too. Is that a lack of preparation, bad coaching or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliusO1274 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 If the White Sox keeping putting Giolito out there he will eventually have a few starts where he looks good and like he found it. Hopefully this next time people will remember that it doesn't mean anything and he always goes right back to garage within a few starts. We've seen it happen numerous times so far his White Sox career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
