witesoxfan Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 WRAL, the station for whom Gravley works, is based out of Raleigh, NC. North Carolina State is also based out of Raleigh, NC. There is most definitely some smoke here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 So he took a few weeks off stays to throw close to home to close out the year and starts game five of the 2015 season. No need to put him on the 40 man for the winter unless it is part of the deal. Works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Do we still have a shot at that #11 guy? Or does it depend on how much $$ is left after this signing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on what Rodon signs for. If it's slot or barely over, we have a chance. Otherwise, nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it depend on how much $$ is left after this signing? You mean De Oca at 15th? Highly unlikely, he was looking for 7 figures, and it looks like he was the backup plan for Rodon. Choplick (32nd) is also an overslot candidate but not nearly as over, so depending on what Rodon signs for, we may get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Montas went down and they didn't promote Dykstra, I had a feeling they were holding the slot for exactly this reason. For a guy like him, and the way the Sox do things, the aggressive assignment isn't a big surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hooray! There should never have been done much doubt that it'd get done, but, hell, maybe Carlos just wanted to enjoy a little bit of summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a guy like him, and the way the Sox do things, the aggressive assignment isn't a big surprise. I can't remember which baseball expert I heard it from, but someone though Rodon would be immediately placed in Birmingham. So maybe the W-S start is not aggressive at all, and may be a little jab at him for not signing immediately like they expected him to. Like a "See, now you got an extra level to climb through because you wanted to be greedy" type thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've signed 32 at this point, Rodon would be 33, and at least one (Davison) declared he isn't signing. Welcome to July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hopefully they can announce the signing during the game tonight. Maybe somewhere around Chris' 10th strikeout of the game. Or Tyler's fourth. Whichever happens first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
