reiks12 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I will start. I am sorry Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The Sox front office lost confidence in Carlos after he came in out of the bullpen and blew that game against the Tribe last Fall. I suspect Jerry Reinsdorf may have approved signing Carlos after Rick Hahn decided to DFA him. Whoever made that decision, it was obviously a good call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Phil Humber pitched a perfect game. I always liked Rodon more than most, but it was time to non tender him when he was non tendered. His current form is extremely encouraging, but he has a history of things falling apart one way or another. Hopefully this time is different, and his career takes off, but I wouldn't bet on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 He looks like a better pitcher post TJS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Rodon is still figuring out how to pitch. There was never a doubt that he was a major league pitcher do think otherwise is foolish. He has been injured most of his career and as was talked about last night he was overused at NC State. That may have permanently derailed his career which sucks. I have been a huge Rodon fan since the day he was drafted so it was great to see last night. No clue what happens next but I wanted the Sox to start him in game 3 of the playoffs. If he is healthy he makes this rotation as good as any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I think it is all context. Fans went into the offseason hoping for 2 big starting pitcher additions. They got one. I'm not sure anyone here wouldn't have wanted to give Los another chance. I think they just preferred giving it to him as the #6 starter, or in a competition with Cease for the #5 spot. When fans aren't privy to the budget, the sky is the limit, and even those that were most bullish on Rodon would have preferred other options.

EloyJenkins Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Co-sign. The NC state hype and then all the terse interviews and injuries made me almost villainize him after thinking he was going to be the next sox ace. Now he has a year to help ride the Sox to the promised land and then get himself a phat payday. Good for him...but most importantly...good for the 2021 White Sox.

He'll get a short deal with real good money if he pitches well. I am happy for him that this season has been a great success thus far, but I'll hold any apologies until the season plays out.

If he has a good year, not even a cy young caliber year, but a 2016 kind of year, he will get 3 years. Pitching situation is dire around the league.

Carlos was frustrating more than others because he had a world of talent, which even aside from injuries, he wasn't putting together. Underperforming players, like Avi, are super frustrating. But as with both, it's good to remember that it can all come together on a whim. The posters who I think were the smartest were ones who had the perspective that if a guy like carlos was from another team and DFA'd, he'd have been on all of our lists for a bounce back. But I was too jaded from the rodon experience to date. But there's no mystery as to how a pitcher like Rodon could succeed, the mystery was how he was so freakin bad. Man, was anyone else at that sox-yankees game in 2015. I think it was the first game back after not trading Samardjiza or really any moves, but 2nd half of july the sox bats were on fire (yolmer was like a power hitter for 2 weeks), and we had an important homestand vs. the yankees to try to fight our way back, with Rodon on the mound. It was like 12-0 yankees after 2 innings, and that was like 2 hours into the game. We just went to the bar as watching a bunch of sox players walk yankees before a home run was boring as hell. ah, yeah, not as bad as I thought. I forgot LaRoche pitched: https://www.southsidesox.com/2015/7/31/9083337/yankees-13-white-sox-6-adam-laroche-pitched 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
