In this episode of The Baseball Show Podcast, Lou Merloni, Evan Drellich and Jared Carrabis revisit the Boston Red Sox' decision to pull David Price up from the minors earlier than many expected.
Drellich emphasizes that the decision was a significant gamble -- but that gamble is paying off. They discuss Price at the 6-minute mark.
Here's what else you can find in this episode.
0:13 - Chris Sale has a 4.70 ERA in his last 6 starts. Is it time to be concerned about the ace? Would your perception of him change if he had started off the season like this?
9:12 - Eduardo Rodriguez falls down in the bullpen, went on to pitch in the game, but was then place on the DL. Merloni and Carrabis liked seeing E-Rod trying to fight through it but Drellich disagrees.
14:47 - A comparison of Drew Pomeranz and Rick Porcello shows that Pomeranz has the better stats. Is this more reason to be optimist about Pomeranz?
