What is coop doing with him?

 

Rodon doesn't have good enough command to try and pace himself like Verlander. There was only a 3-4 mph difference between fastball and slider tonight.

the sox are averaging 5.1 runs a game over their last 12.

 

They're facing Tanaka and it doesn't appear that Rodon is going to shut them down anytime soon. I'm still watching but I suspect this will get very out of hand, unfortunately.

Rodon has a chance still to be a good pitcher. Avi Garcia, on the other hand, is dogs***.

 

This. I fully expect Rodon to reach at least Quintana's level. Avisail just needs to disappear.

Most troubling thing I've seen with Rodon is he hasn't developed his change hardly at all and his fastball command is as bad as ever. Mechanically he still appears to be falling off the rubber to his arm side and this gives him all sorts of trouble when trying to locate middle in to righties.

 

The stuff is still there but with his command issues he's forced into throwing fastballs and sliders behind in the count and that is not a recipe for anything other than mediocrity.

 

Once again I have to say that Don Cooper's magic dust has long worn off on the South Side.

That's more Buehrle/Danks-esque.

 

Certainly not what you'd expect from a future ace. Should we just be contented not to have Kolek or Aiken?
