Ranaudo traded to White Sox...

CHICAGO -- The White Sox have acquired Anthony Ranaudo from the Texas Rangers, two days after the right-hander walked five Chicago hitters in one inning.
Texas obtained minor league pitching prospect Matt Ball in the deal announced Thursday. The right-hander will report to Class A Hickory.
Chicago is sending Ranaudo to Triple-A Charlotte along with right-hander Scott Carroll. The White Sox will make a roster move to fill Carroll's spot before Friday night's road game against the New York Yankees.
Ranaudo has allowed seven runs over two relief appearances this season. He gave up five in Tuesday's outing against the White Sox. Texas rallied for a 13-11 victory.
Ranaudo, 26, is 5-4 with a 6.33 ERA in 13 career appearances, including nine starts, with Boston and Texas.
Ball, 21, had 24 strikeouts in 16 innings in 10 relief outings at Class A Kannapolis. He was an 11th-round pick by the White Sox in 2013.

I assume he still misses high in the strike zone and gets hit hard. Crazy how no one has been able to harness that great arm talent. Hopefully this opportunity will be different.
Be fun to be in a pennant race too.

Obviously, the talent's there, hopefully the ChiSox have a Pitching Coach in the organization that can get Ranaudo's head and mechanic's in the same area code.

I watched highlights of his outing the other night. He had a few fastballs he was lucky weren't put in the upper deck. Right above the strike zone/belly button high, with barely any movement.

Hell yeah, will be nice for my Knights to have another Tiger for me to watch after Jared Mitchell left.

Good luck to Ranaudo. One of my favorite tigers.

This ain't high school, or even college ball. Every pitcher and hitter in the MLB has "talent". If Ranaudo can't get it done the big club will find some 20 year old from the Domincan Republic who can throw 99 mph and give him a shot.

this sounds like you are attributing Ranaudo's difficulties to others (I assume pitching coaches). it seems that increasingly folks are blaming the teacher for the ills of the student. your assumption of him missing high in the strike zone (if true) certainly can't be blamed on anyone but himself. if a pitcher errs the same way over and over he probably isn't listening. it sounds like a premature release point (of you are right) and that really is not all that difficult to fix.
it seems to me his major problem is control. he's walked a ton of batters.

At the end of the day the play has to produce.
No amount of lessons and coaching is going to make Joe Average Nolan Ryan or Babe Ruth.
No doubt Renaudo has a lot of talent, but he has had top coaching too. Whether it's mechanical or mental, by now the guy should be doing better.
If it was that easy they wouldn't pay millions to a relative few to pitch at a ML level.
I wish him luck, but his time is now. This could be his last shot.

That's been his problem for the entirety of his MLB career. His fastball, while being better than average speed, has zero movement on it. MLB hitters have the disgusting hand eye coordination to make him pay.
His secondary pitches aren't good enough to make up for that, so hitters will just sit and wait for the fastball.

What's he made (or is guaranteed to still make), $15 million? He'll be OK regardless, I am sure.

Don Cooper is one of the most highly regarding pitching coaches in the game. Hopefully he can work some magic with Ranaudo.

His signing bonus was $2.55M, hopefully he hung on to most of that.

You realize the Rangers won the west last year?

Where did you get this from? He's had 52 days of MLB service time and a 2.6 million dollar bonus in 2010. Those guys make pennies in the minors, even triple A with a minor pay bump for being on the 40 man roster. League min is 507K and you only make portions of that when you're with the big club. 87 thousand is what he makes as a triple A player on the 40 man with service time. Closer to $4 million than 15.
