Who's the better pitcher Bundy or Eduardo Rodriguez?

[Redskins Rick]

While I don't agree he is untouchable, he would be a wasted chip for Kemp or Upton. If we were talking Hamels, I would think most people would be receptive to including Bundy.

As for not developing high school talent, the team is working on Davies now. Besides, Bundy was as polished as a college starter, so let's not truly lump him in with other high school pitchers.

While not worried about Bundy, it would be good if he showed better than what he is now. With him having to start the year on the 25 man next year, he might start losing value this year if he doesn't show well.

I think DD said it pretty good last season. While he didn't consider Bundy or Gausman "untouchable", it would take the right deal to motivate him into accepting it.

I wanted Rendon, but I can't say he wasn't risky at the time given that he had surgery on his ankle two years in a row. Still, I'd rather have passed Rendon over for Bundy than for Bubba Starling.

Question Marks? What are they?

Bundy faced Asche, Sizemore, McGuiness, D'Arnaud, Hill, Utley, Mastroiani and Phelps. 4 of them had 380+ plate appearances in the Majors last year. That is a fairly standard group of playes to face in Spring Training. Hardly fair to call them all minor leaguers.

But hardly a muderer's row of the '27 Yankees. I'm a little worried, but only a little. Like Frobby said a few posts above your's, he needs to go down and build up innings. Not build up strength (now) but to build confidence and experience again. Get back into the groove of schooling hitters. Sharpen his game. By June or July this thread will be history. Dylan will be fine.

It's not a good thing if people are getting banned solely for not saying all positive things.

I don't know the particulars but Birdland (or anyone else ever...) was NOT banned simply for being negative.

Thanks for clarifying Scott. Had no idea what happened and that worried me a lot. I appreciate you clarifying that sir.

Yeah. Weird. A bunch of people already provided that information. But thank you to the last person, who is late to the party, to provide the info.

Back to the topic, EdRod allowed 1 run in 2 relief innings for Boston yesterday, raising his spring ERA to 1.17. He's still in Major League camp. 1 ER in 7.2 IP.

He is in the running for the fifth starter slot.

Good Stats this spring.

Considering they are going to wait on Hamel, and Clay Buchholz is considered their "Ace".

[Frobby]

Although EdRod has looked sharp, I don't expect him to get a serious look as the 5th starter to begin the year. He hasn't started a game yet and his outing yesterday was only two innings, so they're not building his innings in the way you'd expect if he was under consideration for the 5th starter spot. Buchholz, Materson, Porcello and Kelly have each made three starts, and they signed Wade Miley (1 start) to a three-year, $19.25 mm deal so you have to assume he'll be in the rotation even though he's started slowly this spring. Henry Owens (BA #44 prospect who pitched 6 games in AAA last year) has had one spring start, has looked good and probably would get the nod ahead of EdRod
