pcq Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Rodon has mostly been a distraction. Not much return on that investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rodon goes elsewhere and stays healthy and puts it all together good for him. It wasn't happening here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Kopech can return to the land of high promise along with Cease. Lopez could be useful if he changes his tempo and learns how to throws strikes. I have high hope that Katz can work some magic with this staff. Coop once had the touch but seems to have lost it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Rodon will put it together someday somewhere. Let's just hope its not in the AL Central. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think injuries have fucked with his command to the point where it's possible that he just doesn't have the ability to throw enough strikes anymore.

She had a point about the umpiring during Carlos's starts though. I actually enjoyed watching her argue balls and strikes on twitter. Not sure if it did Carlos any favors with the umps though.

GreenSox Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jack Parkman said: Fulmer was due to shit luck more than anything else. Sometimes, a college or HS pitcher's stuff backs up significantly going from starting once a week to every 5 days. Nobody knows who those guys are, and unfortunately for the Sox, Fulmer was one of those guys. It happens in every draft, to a few teams, even in the 1st round. Fulmer had a violent, non-repeatable, delivery such that the chances of him backing up in the pros were very high. Everyone/team/scout knew that his delivery would have to be smoothed out for him to succeed. His upside was never worth the risk. Rodon, honestly, never seemed like he was all that interested being a major league pitcher. I hope things change for him elsewhere.

No. No he won't, unless he realizes the bullpen is his landing spot. His shoulder won't support a starter workload anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 2014 was a helluva draft. #1 pick Brady Aiken, out of baseball. #2 Tyler Kolek, released. # 3 pick Carlos Rodon and #4 pick Kyle Schwarber nontendered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went after him on an Instagram family pic before (and publicized it like it was cool), and whatever was said here. I don't blame her for lashing out at this idiot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 My clearest memory of Rodon is when he and agent Scott Boras ripped off the Sox in initial negotiations and tried to rip them off even more. Sox should have just walked away after giving him initial slotted offer and taken the extra pick the next year. Instead, Sox caved and paid him over slot, and Boros tried to get even more, which would have put team in some kind of penalty box. I'm glad he's gone. I don't remember exact details, but you get the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
