First, you can never have too much pitching.

2005 has resulted in a fifteen year curse.  The negative side wins out today, the side that questions the very one-sided nature of being a White Sox fan

Of course, thoughts and prayers, feel terrible for the guy...Burger, Rodon, Dunning, Giolito, now Lopez (the only one not to have had at least one major surgery entering 2020), Kopech, Cease, the list just goes on and on and on.

That’s not even counting Eloy Jimenez.  Micker Adolfo had the tools to be a superstar at one point in time (minus speed.)

If it wasn’t for that World Series, we might be the “unluckiest/least fortunate” franchise in baseball.  And if it wasn’t for the players acquired for Sale, Eaton and Q (and the Robert signing), Hahn would be out of a job and we’d be in the midst of a perma-rebuild.  Trading one of the Top Ten players in baseball and a Top Ten MVP vote recipient don’t exactly help the cause.


PS:  Jared Mitchell and pretty much every Sox pitching prospect from 1998-2001 minus Buehrle and Fogg say hello.  About five years ago, our primary niche advantage was keeping players healthy.  That’s been turned on its head.

He already had one. Success after 2 is drastically decreased.

Recovery (full or even better) rate is roughly 60% for second compared to 80% for initial, but the number of starting pitchers in MLB history who have thrown 500+ innings after two surgeries/revisions (over the remainder of their careers) can be fully counted on less than two hands.

Jace Fry and Daniel Hudson would be two examples in that particular category.

Yeah, awful. This blows. Hope it's the one out of 100 shot that it's just barking a bit because he was throwing more often.

I think that’s very possible, especially given the weird summer camp routines every pitcher had to deal with.
