cabiness42 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 This is one of those moves that even if Rodon is a complete bust, no one should complain about the Sox drafting him. It's 100% the right move. I won't complain if Rodon is a bust. I will complain if the Sox don't sign him, or if they go over slot to sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, no, that's Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Really interesting next couple of picks. Might indicate what the Sox know about his demands. College senior next? Stinnett maybe? Fan of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 05:32 PM) Better question, has a team with a decent offense and a 1,2,3 as good as Sale, Q, and Rodon (could be) ever failed? I mean that's like Braves 90's all over again dominant front line staff. And Danks looking like Glavine Lite if he can learn how to pitch with diminished velocity. Let's just hope Rodon/Sale don't end up like Steve Avery, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
