caulfield12 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hahaha. So, in retrospect, if we had actually kept Sergio Santos and Jake Peavy, we would be on the cusp of contention in the AL Central this season. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this board was convinced you can lose 40 percent of your starters and still have pitching depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do. One of the starters is on the way out (injury or ineffectiveness) and the Sox have confidence that someone in the minors who had some MLB experience last year will step up. Rienzo is the first call. The second call will be Surkamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second call will be Surkamp. The problem is neither are much better than Paulino. Maybe Rienzo can at least stay in the game long enough not to tax the beleaguered bullpen.

Just a guy to eat up some innings and get pulled in the 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Rienzo doesn't even need to be "good" to be better than Paulino was. I wonder if Paulino is going on the DL or just getting sent down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got 29 innings of experience. Now he is ready to progress at the MLB level. It's still better than the performance of Paulino or someone without MLB experience. They aren't asking him to be an ace only to eat innings and go more than 4 innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 The second lefty should be the long man. There's no room for Paulino, as bad as our bullpen is. I'm not giving any of the righties spots to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on mannnnn Do you honestly think it was that simple? It wasn't about trying to get some asset value, or giving Rienzo more innings, or stopping his arb clock, or anything like that. That is some Bears fan stuff right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good lord. Right. The White Sox don't pay any attention to their budget at all. It has be something completely simple. Only lord Theo would sign pitchers to short deals in order to try to build value for them while holding back his own pitchers to save dollars in the future. What was I thinking.

What was I thinking. So they paid $2 million to Paulino to stop a soon to be 26 year old destined for middle relief's arb clock? You are reaching.

Princess Dye Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Sure everyone is scared of Rienzo axelrodding himself, but I think he's enough of a middling prospect where you dont mind throwing him out there and risking some development for some unexpected success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are reaching. They paid Paulino what they would pay for three rookie contracts in a bid to build some trade value, and to keep their kids off of the big club for as long as possible. You know, the stuff that gets Lord Theo's knob slobbered on by the same people who think that Sox management is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Sounds like Rienzo to Chicago, Tommy Hanson to Charlotte, and Paulino to DL, maybe? http://voices.suntimes.com/sports/rienzo-e...e/#.U1K8EldLKjZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN 28m Clearly w/ Tommy Hanson moving from extended spring training to Triple-A #WhiteSox feel he's healthy & ready. Wouldn't make move otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
