justBLAZE Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Link. Jake Peavy began this year on the disabled list following setbacks in his recovery from shoulder surgery, but the rehabbing former Cy Young winner threw a 59-pitch simulated game yesterday and is now scheduled to start an actual game Friday at Double-A. Scott Merkin of MLB.com notes that Peavy said previously he’d want to throw 100-plus pitches in back-to-back outings before rejoining the White Sox’s rotation and he’s slated to throw around 75 pitches Friday, suggesting he’s at least three rehab starts from coming off the DL. For now Philip Humber is filling in for Peavy as Chicago’s fifth starter, but thanks to off days the White Sox are able to skip his turn the first time through the rotation. Peavy has been sidelined since July 6 of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Jake Peavy to pitch in minors Friday By Doug Padilla ESPNChicago.com Archive CHICAGO -- Chicago White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy is set to make his minor league start with Double-A Birmingham on Friday. Pitching coach Don Cooper said the hope is that Peavy goes five innings and throws 75 pitches in the Barons game at Montgomery. Peavy, who is recovering from both his latissimus dorsi reattachment surgery last July and rotator cuff tendinitis that developed this spring, is then in line to pitch Wednesday as well as April 18, 23 and 28. "Those are his numbers," Cooper said. If any of those dates will be starts in the major leagues remains to be seen. Peavy will have to be ready to throw 100 pitches in a game before he can return to the White Sox and he won't reach that mark until April 23. April 28 seems to be a more realistic return date, but Cooper wasn't making any promises. "Listen nothing is etched in stone because who knows something may come up, god forbid," Cooper said. "So those are his days to throw and we'll roll with whatever comes our way. Could it be earlier? It could. Could it be later? It could. We'll just have see how things lay out." As for Peavy's spot in the rotation Saturday, the first time the No. 5 spot will be needed this year, Phil Humber is still in line to make that start despite pitching two innings Wednesday at Kansas City. "Right now he's preparing to start," Cooper said. "But we have to see what happens. Strange things can happen like a couple extra-inning games. So we're ready for anything. Somebody will be out there Saturday and right now it's scheduled to be Phil." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Peavy threw 71 and has thus far reported no issues. Next start - April 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Good. I also liked the tweet from MILBClubbie: "As a fan, I like to know if the players I follow are good guys or not. If you're a Jake Peavy fan, don't worry, he's an awesome dude." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I'm expecting very little from Jake this year. Anything he gives the Sox is a bonus in my mind. He's injury prone at this stage, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's injury prone at this stage, folks. That's one side of the coin for sure - and a side which is warranted by reality. However, there is another possibility which is also likely as well. Time will tell... I'm still hopeful and optimistic... if being as such is a fault - then I am glad to be faulted. It has served me very well in all areas of my life outside of baseball and I gladly carry it into my Sox fandom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to be positive as well generally. Haven't been too into the Jake Peavy saga since he became a Sox however. I do like his attitude; have always liked that.

joejoesox Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Using Peavy's most recent injury history to come to the conclusion that he's injury prone is funny to me None of his injuries that he's had over the course of his pitching career have been linked to each other. Ankle, Latissimus Dorsi. I guess by your reasoning, if he strains his neck by sleeping wrong, just chalk it up to being injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be a douche but isn't that exactly what injury prone means? That no matter what you keep on getting injured all the time? Note that I'm not saying Jake is or isn't injury prone.

People think he's hurt again this spring and are fully ignoring the fact that the bump was expected, and it was more or less a symptom of not pitching forever.

And if he injures himself sleeping, yes, that'd be the definition of being injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny Heads - on the Dan Ryan I was talking to an elderly woman who is an avid fan. I brought up Jake and asked her thoughts on him. She said, "What do I think of Peavy? I think his arm fell off again." This was said in reference to the tendentious. It's pretty silly the nature some people have to say things like this which really are just stemming from ignorance - thou, they masquerade and believe it to be fact. You can't talk anyone out of their beliefs too - so, it's moot to discuss anything with someone who has such contempt prior to investigation.

hi8is Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Peavy will make his next rehab start Wednesday at Triple-A Charlotte, and Cooper said Sunday he expects the right-hander to make three more rehab starts before he returns to Chicago. Cooper added that Peavy likely will throw around 80 pitches in his outing. I think it's great they are having him not make the jump up from 75 to 100 right away and are rather having him make another start with the same pitch count. Good to see. Go Jake!

The fact of the matter is we took on a rather hefty contract with the expectation that we'd have a legitimate #1 starter heading our rotation and the return on that investment has been miniscule.

I want Peavy to be a stud. I love his attitude. But will any of you be surprised if/when after about 3-4 starts he feels a twinge or is out again? I sure won't be. I mean if I was him I'd be afraid of what's ahead arm-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen. I'm not going to lie, I was amped when we got him...and it's not even going to be something where I regret losing the players that we gave up, as I do in the case of Nick Swisher, but the money taken on. There is basically a rule that you never take on a massive salary like this no matter who the player is. You shouldn't make exceptions; no player is probably worth 1/6 or 1/5 of your entire payroll. This trade has been a reminder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
