Rodon for rookie of the year?


Jose Abreu

Recommended Posts

Ventura on Rodon: "If he does or doesn’t win rookie of the year, doesn’t mean anything about what’s going to happen next year."

 

What are Rodon's ROY chances? His main competition, I'd say, is Correa of Houston, but he has cooled off a bit. Granted, he's still at .273/18/52 in just 85 games.

Rodon is 7-6 with a 3.94 ERA/3.85 FIP entering tonight's start. His 1.76 ERA since 8/11 is the lowest in the American League and 5th-lowest in majors. FWIW, if you take out his two terrible outings (vs PIT/STL) he has a 3.12 ERA.

 

Abreu was the 2014 AL ROY. Could Rodon win it in 2015?

Oops I commented in the game thread, didn't see this. Lindor has to win it. He's too special. But Rodon ... my gosh what a talent. He's a fixture in our rotation for 15 years if he stays healthy.

I can't understand how we don't win more with Sale, Rodon, Q and a Danks who was definitely an average big league starter this year. Robin had "some" talent to work with this year. We're a little lefthanded heavy though. I'd sign a veteran starter, one of those guys who get two year deals at 6-8 mill a year and trade one of our lefties.

15 years? He'll be gone as soon as he hits free agency with Boras as his rep .

We still get to enjoy Rodon for six more seasons and at the end the Sox get a comp pick so there's that. :P

 

Hell of a stretch Rodon is having! He's come such a long long way in a short period of time. He's done an incredible job of limiting his walks.

Well said! And I love how RISP doesn't even phase him now compared to when he was Mr. Mustache in the bullpen.
