Cooper on the SCORE said he would throw another bullpen session over the weekend and go from there.........he also said they are still in it to win it......we could see him sooner

 

 

If he keeps throwing bullpen sessions and not games we won't see him till next year.

That makes perfect sense. Throw a side session over the weekend and then start him in Torres "spot" in the rotation on Tuesday.

 

And they are definitely still in it to win it. This thing isn't over, not by a long shot.

In it to win it or not, I would really like to see Peavy get a start or two before season's end. He needs to go into the off season with a good feeling that he came back from his injury (and then the elbow knock) and pitched. I would have no problem with limiting his pitch count, but he needs to pitch in a Sox uniform this season.

If you can still get hurt during minor league starts and bullpen sessions, why not just start for the major league club. Heck if he goes 1.1 innings, he will have doubled Carlos Torres. As long as he is not throwing 60 mph, he should be starting for us. Or at the very least he could be our opener once or twice a week.(btw an opener is a real position in my head, it is basically a second closer who pitches the first inning of games and sets the tone, and it won't be long until every team has one)

Interesting. Are there any teams that use an opener?
