flavum Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Unless there's an injury or the Sox record is so bad the first 50 games that a change has to happen, I don't want them to think about bringing Rodon up until at least June 1. It shouldn't be as simple as Rodon is better than Danks or Noesi right now. Give him 10 starts in Charlotte, and see where it stands then.

I agree. Has anyone noticed interviews with Rodon seem really uncomfortable? He comes across as a bit aloof IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes across as a bit aloof IMO. He does seem like a drillrod. Also blew off Rongey Tuesday and Thursday, which isn't cool. Hopefully he'll get better with that. That said, 6-7 years of being an ace makes up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper treats him with barely disguised disdain and nobody makes much of anything about it. Edited March 30, 2015 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you say absolutely does not make it right to blow someone in the media off. I hope someone straightened the kid out if he did do this. It just isn't a professional way to handle things.

Yeah, yeah, I know, "professional obligations," another subsegment of the responsibility of being a ballplayer for the White Sox, part of the family, etc. I'm sure he will end up coming around. But it's nice to see Rongey put in his place sometimes. Now if he did that to Merkin, I would be more aggravated, as sometimes Rongey just comes off as too entitled or judgmental when dealing with the fanbase. Exasperated. For whatever reason, I don't see him as "one of us" like I do Harrelson, for example. Hawkins came out of his immaturity period, seemingly. Rodon will, too. Or they'll end up banished like Jon Rauch.

ron883 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Neckrolls got me really excited about the future rotation. His slider is Chris Sale-esque. So pumped to see how he does this year. Three aces and a #2 in one rotation... Oh my Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post game hosts need to be like that at times. There are far too many goofs that call in. If I has to answer the questions he did repeatedly I would lose my temper much more often. There is only so many times you can answer why Ventura pulled a pitcher if favor of the bullpen without screaming THE ENTIRE BP SUCKS SO WHO DO YOU EXPECT HIM TO PUT IN.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Bernie Pleskoff raving about Rodon http://m.mlb.com/cws/video/topic/52577744/...e-sox/?c_id=cws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I still can't believe the Sox got him. Oh and Pleskoff is out of his mind if he truly believes Rodon has no flaws and is going to K 12 to 13 per 9 this year.

GGajewski18 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Mar 31, 2015 -> 07:26 PM) Think the word raving is an understatement based on the way Pleskoff was speaking on Rodon. It really seems all too good to be true. As I've said before, with Sale-Q-Rodon all around for at least the next 3 years, things become so much easier to build around. Try at least 5.
