Javy Guerra hasn't pitched in a week. I'm guessing he is the one going on the DL.

 

Typically the team sends out the guys they just used to that they have fresh guys in the pen. Drabek seems to be #1 since he pitched 4 innings over the last two days. Albers and Putnam seem to the next guys.

I'm thinking there is a reason he hasn't pitched in a week, and has tallied less than 2 innings this season. I don't think Albers and Putnam aren't fresh. Each has appeared in 1 game since April 15th.

I'd be surprised if Drabek wasn't DFA'd.

True, but he's still be behind Rodon and Erik Johnson for a rotation spot so I am not sure how he could become a factor if that's the case.

 

And probably Chris Beck.

 

But if the Sox can do anything to have him regain value, it's a win.

With his health history I'd actually rather try him in the bullpen long term.

 

my problem with him as of now, is he really capable of doing more than what the sox have now?

 

the pitching is in a precarious situation, or slippery or uncertain. what ever word one wishes to choose. but i wish the sox would address the starting 5. even with Rodon, i am still leery.

No he's not, not right now. Could he be within a couple months? That'd be the hope.

First someone has to not claim him. Remember he didn't past the low end of the AL last time because the White Sox claimed him.

 

Yeah, but I'm a little more optimistic after showing how little he had to offer.

and thanks, that is the point i am trying to make. he will not be the one player to help turn this team around.

 

these players are getting paid a huge amount and the fault lie in the person who they see every single day in the mirror.

Huge reason Rodon is in pen and not rotation: Hahn says 1 year out of college, the kid isn't ready to throw a ton of innings anyway.

 

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 11m11 minutes ago

Hahn said Rodon can be used in numerous situations -- everything from facing one tough lefty to multiple innings.

Rick Hahn: "With Carlos Rodon's 2015 innings, we're dealing with a scarce resource." Beginning in bullpen maxes his innings.

 

I really hope this is all a bluff, and he'll be in the rotation after Danks and Noesi get bombed a few more times. Wasting an entire year of Rodon's development having him pitch in the minors seems like a really bad idea, especially given how much the Sox are spending on Duke/Robertson. To me, it makes no sense to keep him in the bullpen all year while Danks and Noesi are pitching terribly.

 

As for the idea of just bringing him in to face a tough lefty, I would be very concerned about the adjustments he would have to make in warming up to get prepared.

No one has said he will be in the pen all year long.
