What's the precaution for? He is coming back from an ankle injury that has fully healed.

We've been rushing him back to a certain degree. He'd have probably been shut down for the year if he were still in San Diego, and considering how important he is to the future, I think shutting him down and keeping a few extra innings that won't matter off his arm wouldn't be the worst thing.

Might as well trade him right now.....as soon as he throws a pitch thats not a strike, you'll start hearing "fans" say he sucks and is worthless.

 

No that will be next season. This season when he throws a non strike, we'll be calling to shut him down. Get it right. :D

If he's 100% healthy then he pitches, if not then DON'T pitch him. We have too much money invested in this guy to screw around with him and this is the 2nd straight year he's spent a good amount of time on the DL.

Umm no....Jake is probably our best pitcher. The whole idea here is to save him some innings because of how good and important he is, seeing as this season is a lost cause.

I'm willing to declare the Sox dead. If Peavy can come back and get a few starts, fine. But they shouldn't bring him back any sooner than he wants. It's not worth it at this point. Just bring Torres back for a few starts and Peavy for a few starts, and Garcia can get his 5-6 starts, and then the season will finally be over.

Yeah because 6ish starts at the end of the season is really going to take a toll on his arm you know considering he hasn't pitched most of the season.

 

 

It's his ankle, and it's healed. There is not 1 reason to shut Peavy down.

Not one huh? Every arm only has so many pitches in it, and Peavy is no exception. Considering that, where we are as a team and in the standings, and how long and expensive Peavy's contract is, I can see plenty of reasons to keep those half a dozen or so starts worth of pitches from being thrown.

I don't see any reason to pitch him if we go 2-8 on the trip or worse.

For that matter, Mark ought to get the last 2 weeks of the season off. Rest him up for what we think will be a good rotation next year.

 

He'll have the whole winter off. MB needs to be the workhorse that we all know he is — let him rack up a few wins to offset some of the eerie post-perfecto slide.
