greg775 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Maybe it's too cold to fire a fastball, but Nova couldn't retire Fathom here. He's reminding me of a position player pitching in a blowout. Mabe it's the cold weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was $9 million wasted. A 4-5 ERA for a 4th starter is pretty average in the AL. Remember they wanted a healthy guy to throw strikes and eat innings . Weren't a whole of those guys out there for a year. There were plenty of injured pitchers from last year they could've signed for less but then you're starting the season with 2 guys or even 3 guys say if you signed Pomeranz and Miley who were injured and Rodon and a guy who was the worst starter in baseball last year in Giolito. That leaves you Lopez Banuelos Fulmer Covey to cover for 2/3 starters coming off injuries. Not exactly a lot of depth and also an injury prone staff.. It's still a rebuild year when all is said and done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCCWS Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 2 hours ago, Jack Parkman said: Figured. I still think they have some potential with Kopech/Cease/Lopez/Giolito but I'm starting to sour on Rodon. He struggles to get through 5 innings. He's becoming the LHP version of Rich Harden. I don't really think they can count on him anymore. Jack: I don't follow your reasoning. Rodon has pitched slightly better than Lopez and Giolito this season. All 3 have been pretty mediocre. Why do you see Rodon as the worst of the 3?

Jose Abreu Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Jose Abreu has an .887 OPS and 135 wRC+. Super, super confusing since I was told by half the board two weeks ago that he’s washed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) If he pitches this bad his next start, is DFA possible? He's just as bad as Erwin it appears. Mabe the DL. Edited May 2, 2019 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Hopefully in two months the rotation is Rodon, Lopez, Giolito, Cease, & Banuelos. I’m seen enough of Nova to last me a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is Nova still owed ~$7M so it seems unlikely they’ll move as swiftly as they did with Santana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Everybody says "Ricky's boys don't quit." Well I knew there was trouble today having a DH against the pathetic Orioles. Ricky's boys also have a tendency to appear to loaf at home against lousy teams. We better rally and not get swept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
