Nope. I think the bench is pretty much set- Gimenez, Sanchez, Wise, and Gillaspie.

 

First callup between Tekotte and Danks? I'd go Tekotte.

Mitchell having a really good spring. If his first few months at AAA go well. He could be next though we don't want him wasting away on the bench. OTOH he's a dynamic ballplayer.

 

Sale 5 IP, Faced the minimum, 2K's

Its not about innings, it is about pitch count. Innings are meaningless in spring training.

 

It's funny that it changes during the regular season. 6 IP, 80 pitches is very different than 6 IP, 120 pitches, yet teams only seem to look at IP when protecting their young starters.

Plus how many throws between innings, and at what effort level?

I don't feel like that's been the case with our guys, they usually seem to focus on that ~100 pitch mark as the time to take guys out.

 

Innings is a little easier to compare across pitchers and it's really useful in telling a pitcher's value (you clearly want the guy who throws more innings successfully), so innings gets used as a stat a lot.

I won't question the White Sox when it comes to how to get their pitchers ready.

It's not just IP per start, it's also the intensity of the pitches. A 25-pitch inning where you load the bases with no one out puts more stress on your arm than a 25-pitch inning where you walk the 8-hitter.
