Greg, it truly sounds like it's something they decided they had to do before his elbow exploded.

 

Didn't they take all this into consideration before they made him a starter? Now that he's a starter, let him start. If he has to stretch the arm out a year in the minors, fine. I still say Nolan Ryan is laughing his ass off. Think his arm didn't hurt at times? Now I insist they should have re-signed Buehrle. Oh wait, the Sox are too cash-strapped to do that. Now a dominant starter is gone to the pen.

Greg, this team is not a "Mark Buehrle" away from being a top team.

Maybe an Albert Pujols away.

 

Oh wait he sucks now

It wouldn't have mattered had they signed Buehrle instead of Danks. We'd still be in the same basic position.

 

They simply couldn't afford both. Attendance would be the same, that wouldn't matter. You're never going to see any major league team risking that kind of a contract on a pitcher in his 30's over one in what should be the prime of his career.

 

Had Fielder looking low and away and then came back high and over the middle...just high enough, and just enough juice/movement.

My point it is an insult to the fan base to hype Sale as a starter, let Mark walk, and now have no replacement. We have to put some hack in there to replace an all-star starter in Sale. Yes Sale was looking like an all star.

you're right, I do feel affronted by the Chicago White Sox organization in general, and their parking attendants in particular. That guy Manny in Lot C....argh, don't get me started.

I think they're really oversensitive now after what happened with Peavy's ankle injury and the argument it led to his lat problem.

 

The thing that doesn't make sense is not shutting him down for two weeks or DLing him. How putting him in the bullpen is going to prevent him from having an injury at some point is beyond me.
