Knackattack Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Great to have him for the future. One of the bright spots in a dark time for us and a ray of hope with our continual luck with pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Well, We're all set with left SPs for the next 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Rodon is a freaking stud. I think that he has a higher ceiling than Sale honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Rodon is a freaking stud. I think that he has a higher ceiling than Sale honestly. Sale is a Top 5 pitcher in all of MLB. Hard to have a higher ceiling than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that he has a higher ceiling than Sale honestly. I think you are right as I see Rodon not having the physical problems that Sale has from his build. Rodon is built like a guy who can give you 230 to 240 IP in a season. I don't see that from Chris Sale. While they haven't been major, Sale has had minor nagging type stuff every year. I do believe that it is a testament to Cooper and the Sox staff that these haven't become something major like you have seen all over baseball.

Hard to have a higher ceiling than that. I think that Rodon has the potential to be THE best pitcher in baseball. That's how much I believe in his abilities. He impressed me a ton last season even though he was only 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Rodon does nothing better than Sale. The guy has a chance to be great but his ceiling isn't higher than Chris' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Carlos has a better slider when he's 100% on his game. Equally confident bordering on cocky. In the future, maybe you can say he's cooler under pressure, perhaps...physical build/stamina in his favor as well. Chris' offspeed stuff isn't nearly as hard breaking but it can be equally effective. More like a slurve at times. And Sale is in a different zip code in terms of control of his full repertoire.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Rodon needs to develop a changeup that he can use in any count and any situation. I think learning that one simple pitch and mastering it will turn him from a really good pitcher to an elite one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I read there is another guy in the farm system (can't remember who) who could be better than Rodon and Fulmer. I guess it's great for this organization to have that potential talent since pitching contracts are getting above ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure any of those you can say any of those have the potential to be better than Rodon/Fulmer. I do like em all though, last 2 probably end up in the pen.

Quin Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Adams is the only one that can possibly fit that description, but even then, if they all hit their ceilings Rodon and Fulmer are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 This is sort of off-topic, but I don't understand why everyone likes Tyler Danish so much. He's only 21, so he's very young, but he put up a 4.50 ERA last year in AA. That's not very impressive to me. I see him as a future bullpen arm, if that.

He just turned 21 last month, so he was a 20 year old in AA. I think that's pretty young for that level, and he got to that level at a young age because he had been so good previously. I'm always guilty of cherry picking on this board so why not continue? Danish had 4 games where he was absolutely rocked to the tune of 25 runs in 15 innings. That really inflated that 4.50 era. 20 year olds in AA are probably always gonna have games like that. How he does in year 2 at AA will be more telling as to who he is as a prospect. Probably is a reliever due to his motion, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Still has a shot to start though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this pretty much hit the nail on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took a step back last year, but he's awfully young and still has a good chance to turn into an effective reliever. And one of the common threads of success in this era, aside from YOUNG talent, is a bullpen with 3 or 4 high end relievers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
