Can Latos really keep this up?

[Matt Hoeppner]

I took at look at the numbers for Mat Latos this year and how they stack up with his performances before his injuries. Some red flags in there but also some good signs as well. Certainly he won't be this good all year, but if he stays healthy, this could turn out to be a huge pick up.

Good read.

Latos has been better than expected for the Sox this season. The rotation looks good and if Latos can keep it up, I can see the Sox staying in the race and possibly grabbing a WC spot.

The rotation will definitely be the key to success this year. If Latos does keep this up then it will be the free agent steal of the year. Obviously he will regress a bit but he was good at one point in his career maybe he has rekindled some of that.

Danks was ok today to. Now Rodon needs to shake off that last outing.

Yes, he can. I have always admired his game. He can dominate at times, does he throw a sinker like Colon?

Idk, but he has great mound presence and when he has control it seems hitters are at his mercy. I look at his career more like a hiccup recently, where he struggled and injury.

It appears the Sox have 4 starting pitchers surpassed maybe by only the Mets,
