BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 15% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Carlos Rodon has been the perfect example of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the Chicago White Sox this season.
He has gone through awful stretches with several different factors coming into play. He has given up 4+ ER in 7 games this year. He has also walked 4+ batters in 6 games. His 2:1 K/BB ratio leaves a lot to be desired and his FIP of .393 and ERA of 4.42 don't make things any sunnier. However, in his recent stretch of success Rodon has carried a 2.75 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP in 19.2 IP with 19 K and 2 QS.
Rodon came in as one of the most unpolished rookie SP in baseball and bumps in the road were to be expected. He has tremendous talent and for those in dynasty leagues they know their patience will pay off. Unless you are an owner in a shallow league Rodon's value lies in his high 9.57 K/9 total even on a bad team like the White Sox.
The White Sox have nothing to lose and for the owner who is looking for high ceiling talent with #2 SP potential Rodon is the guy to get.
