Eh, the projections having going early. Toronto having two first rounders is a big threat. I figured it would be hard for other teams to budget him in, but Toronto wouldn't have a problem.
Unless Rodon's arm falls off (which is possible), I think the Astros have to go with the guy that's closest to helping now.
My hope now is that NC St. doesn't get out of the ACC tournament. Get that arm as much rest as possible. I would be all for drafting Rodon #1 and letting him sit out the rest of 2014.
Nice to see he's not getting those 144 pitch count games anymore. Hopefully it will continue to stay in this range.
Down to 1.73 after last night. He's given up 4 ER in his last 6 starts, putting him around 0.8 ERA for April and May.
In three years our rotation is going to be beastly. Rodon Appel McCullers Velazquez Cosart Fingers crossed.
