If Quintana was going to the DL, Rodon wouldn't be coming up as a reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) It might already be too little, too late (in terms of getting any refocused attention with the slow start, Bryant hysteria and Bulls/Blackhawks)...but this is going to be a huge important development year in terms of setting things up for 2016.

When was the last time he pitched? He could be out of the bullpen for a day or two and then start in place of Quintana. I doubt it but that is the first thing I thought of. I am not a fan of him being here out of the bullpen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 At this point in the season and with 5 starters already and 2 lefties in the pen I am not a fan of this move. It really has been the offense being so inconsistent and poor baseruning and those are the two major issues right now not the pitching staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of him being here out of the bullpen Well, you can't be a fan of him starting this week and then being shut down in mid to late August, either. It's the best way to limit his innings and pitch count for the next 2-3 weeks while he gets his feet wet...and he can refine his fastball and change mechanics with Cooper and Geo Soto to watch over him and monitor his daily progress. And it's impossible to discount the PR angle of it...although I hardly doubt there will be any type of attendance bump like the Cubs are getting with Bryant (at least Fri and Sat).

Jake Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I normally don't like moving guys back and forth between the pen and rotation, but in this case it makes sense. They want him to get prepared for MLB competition in a relatively safe environment and they absolutely have to keep his innings total relatively low this year. This kills two birds with one stone.

Exactly, and as long as everything goes as planned, he will see the rotation unless he gets injured or the rotation is nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of him being here out of the bullpen That's what I'm thinking. He started last Thursday. Tomorrow is like a side day, and he could start Friday, theoretically. There could be quite a few roster moves this week. It wouldn't surprise me if Rodon and Erik Johnson both get starts in the next 7-10 days.

Whisox05 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 No news who's headed out, whether option, DL or DFA for #WhiteSox, who need spots for Carlos Rodon and likely Jake Petricka. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/589928532475674624 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you want to keep the rip Robin bandwagon rolling, but use some common sense. Is he a scientist that can just isolate "run production" and say that it's 82.6% of the reason for the slow start? C'mon! Use some common sense that it's simply the local media protecting a "favorite son" and that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
