NCsoxfan Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 02:17 PM) He got a $6.75 mil signing bonus right? I think if he was cuban the bonus would reach...$6.75 million. Because he's the son of Cuban immigrants?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 04:26 PM) Oh no, almost 7 million! Isn't that close to the price of Keppinger & Downs for only 1 season? Who cares, Rodon is a cheap lottery ticket with pretty good odds. Signed him cheap. If Rodon was a Cuban what do you think the bidding would reach? first the stupidity of this post is too much, no one, I mean no one is introducing race into the conversation except you...... I am a minority and never once did I mention race. you are then mixing apples with oranges Rodon is a college drafted player and there fore limited with slot allotted money and is in no way a free agent where is the sox org wanted to can walk away. where does the idea of " If Rodon was a Cuban what do you think the bidding would reach?" came from. RE TEX.... also with your comment, again apples and oranges...... jesssss can anyone stick to the what is said without taking liberties.

I'm pretty sure he means if he was not subject to the draft slot protocols (like Cuban free agents) and was openly bid on how much would he get, and the answer would be...a ton more.

BlackSox13 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Rodon is now a member of the Sox organization, has huge upside and that's all that matters to me at this point. Nothing much left to say til Rodon makes his pro debut. Go Sox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply referencing one of the top debates in contemporary baseball, a debate with deep boras ties. I meant Cuban national obviously. Sorry to get your itchy trigger finger itchin.

You are being absolutely ridiculous. His point had absolutely nothing to do with race and you know it. His entire point was that if Rodon had been an amateur free agent, he would have been paid more than the bonus the Sox gave him. Whether he be Cuban, Puerto Rican, Japanese, whatever. I'm sure the Cuban example was used because of the influx of Cuban players the past few seasons. Stop embarassing yourself by trying to start a race issue that does not exist.

Balta1701 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 This one is my fault, I was attempting to make a joke that clearly has not gone over the way I intended. The original statement was that he'd have gotten more if he was Cuban, clearly accidentally crossing up "being able to sign as a full free agent" with "being cuban", so I decided to make the "He actually is Cuban!" joke and clearly has not gone well. I apologize if anyone wound up offended, pin that one on me and let's drop it please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop embarassing yourself by trying to start a race issue that does not exist. i am being absolutely ridiculous, try getting your facts right. I was talking about salary cap with ref to signing bonus. this post was about Rodon signing and his agent asking for what they were asking for. this has nothing to do with race ...... or free agents, which if it was there is another thread about it. I posted b/c I was admitting I was wrong. that was all. look at the timeline, it was he who was introducing the race comment. again race has nothing to do what so ever in a draft and slot allotted signing bonus. free agent is not in the initial discussion. second if you are going to make assine statement that clearly is spelled out, you are guilty of either not reading or is misreading and attacking. Balta thanks fro trying to disfuse the situation by taking the blame. peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Per Baseball America, Rodon will go to AZL first to start pro career, then go to Winston-Salem around July 28th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 https://twitter.com/scotgregor/status/490267266970550272 White Sox will use Carlos Rodon exclusively out of bullpen this season, just to manage workload. Did same thing with Sale It certainly appears they're going to give Rodon a shot to get big league time this season if he performs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I would be interested in clicking on a new Rodon thread at the top of PaleHose if it was there. Maybe the first post could continually update and add a line everytime he pitches, like a BR game log page, and then the discussion would be ongoing. I only mention this because he's a special prospect and I feel like some people probably don't enter many minor league game thread discussions. He's gonna be fun to keep tabs on even for those here who have little interest in our minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
