ptatc Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 06:08 PM) Baseball players are such hillbillies. Him and Laroche are gonna get along just fine It's just that most of them don't come from the cities where there isn't enough room to play baseball.

caulfield12 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 01:30 PM) I'd be totally ok with that, but that's not how I hear those statements. I hear them as "like Sale did in 2011" meaning "full season wasted in the bullpen throwing 60 innings like Sale did in 2011". Also, what happened with Santiago. Long man. Starter. Closer. Forgotten roster spot. Starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 01:51 PM) It's philosophical difference. What's more important, the knowledge and skills he gains this year by pitching to MLB players and Coop putting him in advantagious situations, while postponing his full time starting assignment a year. Or starting him the minor to buld up his innings to start his start assignment earlier but have to learn the MLB pitching in all situations where he could get his brains beat in while learning. The other variable would be the Sox wnning, the team is much better if he is in the pen as opposed to the minors. If they don't extend JS and next year is the year, it may be the only option. All depends on whether they spend to add one more veteran "insurance" policy like B.Anderson/Masterson or go into the year with Danks/Noesi at the back end written in stone. If Noesi pulls another Erik Johnson April 2014...then there's going to be a lot of pressure to use Rodon (sooner rather than later) when Beck or Johnson are your other best options available.

spiderman Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 01:23 PM) https://mobile.twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/sta...340460627243008 While I would prefer they don't bring him up until June then so we don't lose a year with him as a reliever, I understand the approach. The White Sox have had success in the past with this, and he would fill a need as well. Obviously, this couldn't be a long-term (more than a season, if that) approach, but if the Sox have a formula that works, they should continue to use with Rodon.

I think Keely is better looking but maybe its because of the cheerleader pics I've seen of her. So Carlos went front a Sox fan to a is/was cub fan, huh? Should make for some interesting conversations between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
