Rodon has more consistently been 90-93 with his fastball this season. How much of it is a "dead arm" and how much of it is deliberately throwing at lower speeds for more accuracy in the strike zone, only he could tell you.

 

When you watched him with NC State for two years and most of last year in the 2nd half, he was 94-97.

 

His slider also hasn't been as consistent...granted, "plus" pitches end out wiping the majority of collegiate hitters, whereas they get spoiled/fouled off by big league hitters waiting for cookies to drive.

I'm getting a little sick of Benetti. Can see his shtick wearing thin sooner rather than later. Just call the game, dude. Too many asides, if we wanted that, just bring back Hawk.

 

 

@jasonbenetti: 42. It's the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. #SoxMath included. #DeepThought

 

Whatever that means...

 

 

However, if someone said that Carlos Rodon was (potentially) going to be 1-4 and John Danks pitching so poorly he'd be DFA'ed off the squad entirely, would your guess be that the White Sox would have one of the three best records in baseball knowing both those pieces of information?
