Condor13 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Better then nothing, but the problem is that if he starts in the bullpen then it will take 2-3 weeks (I'm guessing) to stretch him back out to a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) wow, wasn't expecting this. Have a feeling if Noesi has a bad start, Rodon will then be in the rotation. What I don't get is that there's absolutely no need for him in the bullpen right now, as lefty relief and Robertson is the only thing going well for the team.

fathom Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 So who gets sent down for Rodon and Petricka? Dbrabek for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I hate wasting any service time coming out of the bullpen, but I have a feeling it will be a very short-term bullpen stint to preserve his innings. WhiteSox need to clear a 40 man spot and 2 25 man roster spots before tomorrow. Drabek will surely be DFA but not sure what the other move will be.

Jose Abreu Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 We don't need 3 good lefty relievers. He won't be in the 'pen for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Given how bad the Indians are vs LHP, probably would have made more sense to start him in this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that really matters when it comes to service time is years, days mean little unless you're. Worried about super 2 which really isn't a big deal. If they were planning on calling him up this season then doing it in April is No different than doing it in June.

Anything else and this team is a joke I trust Hahn to make the right decisions with Rodon. If he stays for more than a few weeks in the bullpen, then that's a ridiculous decision.

Kalapse Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Get his feet wet in the majors, limit his innings and strengthen the bullpen, his handedness means little, he's dominant against all hitters. When Noesi faulters again he slides into the rotation. I don't love this plan but there's SOME logic to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Noesi is one bad start away from becoming the long man out of the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
