A new ‘Big Game’ in town

Carlos Rodon is 26, and Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez are both 24, and all of loads of talent. But none of them have never pitched in October.

Ivan Nova comes to this very young and inexperienced pitching rotation with nine years of MLB experience. That includes being on five New York Yankees playoff teams, and playoff game action in 2011. In short, Nova is the new and much better James Shields, and will take on the role of mentor for Chicago White Sox starting pitchers.
