fathom Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 06:31 PM) Why not walk Chisenhall there to load the bases? No confidence in Danks being able to get out of the inning with minimal damage? He's now 4-4 in his career off of Danks. I guess Roberto Perez scared them more.

flavum Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Something about the combo of Micah's stance and how far he's off the plate that doesn't look like he's in a good position to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 QUOTE (bulokis @ Apr 15, 2015 -> 01:30 PM) When can Rodon be called up and not burn his service time? Friday is the extra year of control deadline. Usually super two deadline (it varies) passes in late may or early June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree...seems like he's going to have a very difficult time catching up to fastballs. Seems like he'll be more dangerous against finesse pitchers.

Seems like he'll be more dangerous against finesse pitchers. It looks like he's trying to to what Eaton does but you gotta have very good bat control. Not sure Micah does. I'd really like to see him try and pull the ball more. He could develop decent power. Of course in my world he'd probably be down in AAA working on that.

They can bring him up now or later or anytime prior to Mid April and still have 7 years of control, no? If I am wrong, gotta a link to it? Thanks!

Service time starts the day he's on the 25 man draft year has nothing to do with it. Sale's service time started the year he was drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
