White Sox 7 moves: Recall Bassitt, Carroll, Danks, Phegley, Semien, Surkamp. Purchase contract OF Michael Taylor from Charlotte. No Rodon.

Shocked at the lack of Mitchell, not surprised with Rodon and Andre Rienzo is a toaster strudel.

I'm glad they didn't call Rodon up. He was the workhorse at NC State, and I'd much rather see him rest now, work on a few things over the winter & then take his rightful 3rd spot in the rotation next April.

And damn I hate how poorly things worked out for Jared Mitchell after that damned injury. I absolutely loved him coming off his last season & Omaha showing with LSU.

They don't want to pull a Cub and start winning meaningless games.

Does this have anything to do with his service time? I had thought service time didn't begin if a player was called up after June 1st, but that's probably mistaken.

When would the clock start ticking on Rodon knowing that with Boras as his agent, he's not going to do a Chris Sale deal.

my guess is that there is limited upside to having him pitch in meaningless games now. he's already pitched a lot this year. maybe he tries to put a little extra mustard on the cheese and tweaks something. i dunno.

If there's any benefit to him not pitching due to his contractual clock, that would make sense to me. I agree with you as well. He has pitched a lot of innings, and the Sox could ultimately decide that more innings in September won't make enough of a difference for him come 2015.

YES there is a HUGE advantage service time. Every day he would be on a MLB roster counts ..even in September. It is exactly why the Cubs are leaving Bryant on the minors. One key is that both of them have Boras as an agent and you know his reputation and most likely Boras would NOT sign an early extesion like Sale and Rizzo did.

A side issue also would be if a player on the roster gets hurt he cannot be sent down so he could accrue even more service while inactive.

He would not be put on the 40 man roster since that would take up a spot needlessly and tie the GM's hands.

I would guess the Sox will do what almost every other team does and will send Rodon back down next spring until mid-May so they get the extra year of team control. Remember they can only control a player for 6 seasons but by waiting until mid Mya they get an extra 4.5 months of control or nearly 7 seasons.

Semien is the only lock. Bassitt, Surkamp and Bassitt are possible.

I would have liked to see Rodon called up even if it was for a few innings out of the pen. He could learn a lot in a month from being around Coop and the big league club. That time and experience would be very beneficial heading into next year if they think he's going to compete for a spot in the rotation.

It would have been nice but every day now means a day later next May to avoid the Super Two and delay THE clock.
