DaTank Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Well, the starting rotation is something like this: 1.) Buehrle 2.) Vazquez 3.) Contreras, Danks, or Floyd 4.) Contreras, Danks, or Floyd 5.) Contreras, Danks, or Floyd I really do see Floyd and Danks winning the 2 spots, but Ozzie is really mixing it up this year, its confusing. Any of Contreras, Danks, and Floyd are going to be in the final spot winners. Check out the article: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...sp&c_id=cws I sort of see the rotation like this 1.) Buehrle 2.) Vazquez 3.) Danks 4.) Contreras 5.) Floyd What do you all think about Ozzie's new plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hopefully it will help to keep the bullpen rested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 QUOTE(palehose23 @ Feb 23, 2008 -> 06:03 PM) 1. Buehrle 2. Vazquez 3. Count 4. Colon 5. Danks Colon won't be pitching until June probably. Besides, Floyd's not going to be released or waived anytime soon. Danks will be sent to AAA first since he has options left.

Danks I really would love to see Colon signed, but I just don't see it with the money he wants, unless he'll accept anything in a few weeks in nobody wants him.

flavum Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I like how they have it setup with Buehrle, Vazquez, Danks, Contreras, Floyd. They're not big on skipping guys anyway, so it doesn't really matter what order they go. I don't want Bartolo Colon anywhere near this team.

DaTank Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 QUOTE(flavum @ Feb 23, 2008 -> 06:50 PM) I don't want Bartolo Colon anywhere near this team. Why not? If the Sox can get him cheap, it's a win-win situation because if he doesn't pan out, so what, what's a couple million dollars down the drain. But if he does work out we add another veteran and proven pitcher to the rotation. I would like this deal if the price is right, say 1-2.5 million.

Colon is washed up. 35 years old. 2+ years of on and off the DL, and sucking in between. Time to move on, and give Floyd and Danks 32 starts, and if someone goes down Broadway or Egbert are there to get the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTank Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) Like I said, it isn't much of a waste of money if he goes on the DL. I'd rather spend 1-2.5 mil. on a hurt Colon than 4.5 on a playing Uribe. Edited February 24, 2008 by jenks45monster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather spend 1-2.5 mil. on a hurt Colon than 4.5 on a playing Uribe. It's not about the money. It's that he'd be blocking someone. I want Floyd to get the chance from the beginning of the season. And I also like how the bullpen is setup with Wassermann, Logan, Thornton, MacDougal, Linebrink, Dotel, and Jenks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the bullpen too. I just hope Dotel doesn't go on the DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so what you're saying is he's the only one privy to such information? I withdraw my original question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read that anywhere. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb Some have taken the non-surgical route for rotator cuff tears, like Bartolo Colon, who returned to the Angels in April after a stint on the disabled list . . . "With a complete tear of a rotator cuff, the odds are 50-50, I would say, of getting them back on the mound," Lintner said. "Typically [the patient] takes about four months off, then they start start to throw in six or seven months." The success rate is not one that instills a lot of confidence, and that's why teams are wary when it comes to taking a chance on a pitcher who is attempting to return from a torn rotator cuff. I was just estimating. He clearly is not mlb ready at this point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
