Date | Question | Answer |
---|---|---|
2016-06-16 21:00:00 (link to chat) | What are the odds Hector Rondon is the Cubs closer on 8/1, 30%? Been great but gotta believe a World Series favorite wants a longer track record in the role and chapman/Miller tumors already. (Jojo from Sd) | I'd say 80 percent. Possible they usurp him in the playoffs, but I wouldn't be factoring in into his RoS value too much. (Bret Sayre) |
2015-02-13 19:00:00 (link to chat) | Which side- my Dellin Betances for Hector Rondon and Zach Britton. It's a H2H league, and while Betances could be great, I should be picking up more saves, which I need more than the few extra K's/week Betances might get me. I also expect Betances to get less IP this year assuming he closes, and if he struggles at all I don't think the Yanks hesitate to go with Andrew Miller. (Shawn from Cubicle) | I love Betances, but I think you have to take the two closers in that format, particularly if closers are going to be taken/frozen in your draft/auction. I do think Betances is the man and he'll be fine, though, and every closer has risk of losing his job if he struggles. (Mike Gianella) |
2015-03-19 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Think Hector Rondon can run with the Closer gig all year? (Shawn from Cubicle) | I do believe Rondon can handle the role he's put in a lot of work this spring and has shown he is capable of being the closer. The Cubs do have veteran relievers in Strop and Motte with closing experience in case there is a set back. (Rob Willer) |
2014-06-26 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Who ends up with more saves by seasons end, Neil Ramirez or Hector Rondon? (hamsterjockey from DC) | Thought I answered this one, but perhaps I missed hitting "submit" because we're pushing three hours. I still think Rondon holds onto the closer's role for the majority of the season. The Cubs have no reason to panic and remove him from the ninth inning. (J.P. Breen) |
2014-05-07 17:00:00 (link to chat) | Is Hector Rondon the new closer for the Cubs and if so is he good enough to keep it the whole year? (scott from az) | Yes, Rondon is the closer. He had a shaky outing on Sunday but then Pedro Strop had an even worse one the other day. Yes, Rondon is talented enough to keep the job all year. Often, though, it's less a matter of talent and more a matter of manager confidence. I'll feel better about Rondon if/when he racks off a few saves in a row without blowing one before confidently proclaiming him closer. (Mike Gianella) |
2014-04-24 13:00:00 (link to chat) | With Bruce Rondon on the DL with TJ surgery, what are the chances of the Tigers making a trade with the Cubs for Hector Rondon and then inserting him as closer? (ChoppertoChipper from Edmonton) | 92% (Paul Sporer) |
2010-04-08 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Similar to Kane County question, who beyond Santana gives me a reason to walk one block to see the Clippers this summer? (w friend from columbus) | Carlos Carrasco, Jeanmar Gomez, Hector Rondon and others await your visit. (Kevin Goldstein) |
2009-12-11 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Not a huge fan of Hector Rondon? Too hittable? Could he be a good Andy Sonnanstine wih his control? (Tom from Chicago) | Rondon's stuff is WAY better than Sonnanstine. (Kevin Goldstein) |
