caulfield12 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2016 -> 04:34 PM) You dropped too few names here. The Sox have had a number of unprovens succeed in the closer role. Jenks was called up from AA and closed a world series 3 months later. Reed was called up and 2/3 of the games he pitched in during his rookie year were games he finished. Santos, of course, came almost out of no where to be a closer. Santiago closing was Robin making terrible choices, Thornton closing made sense but he turned out to just not have the mental makeup for it. The ChiSox have created their own out of an unproven guy several times. I would have no issue looking at Burdi as a closer long-term, but if that's the case then calling him up this year or even before April 25 next year is just financially stupid. It would be as responsible as taking $15 million and lighting it on fire. We already did that with Shields' $22 or $27 or whatever it is million remaining...

winninguglyin83 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Burdi two innings, two walks, two Ks, no hits, no runs -- and earned his first pro victory Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'd imagine Burdi will pitch Tuesday and then get called up. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/BrianBilek_/status/764862666510860288 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's pretty much exactly what he said, in this thread QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 11:01 AM) Dave's source in that tweet is me. I'd expect him up in a week or so. I'll get more info soon. If you see Burdi's gamelogs, the Sox have him throwing every third day. He'll continue on that path. Buddy Bell and Curt Hasler saw one of his last outings.

southsider2k5 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 That means we would need two moves in order for Ranaundo start in Miguel Gonzalez slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
