2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Well damn...That would put him out for some (most?) of 2015 as well right? He's arbitration eligible this offseason too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Brutal. Really unfortunate. He has all the makings of being an above average reliever. Tough loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no decision to be made. You don't non-tender that kind of arm. If the Sox are lucky, he's back by July or August of next year, knocks off some of the rust, and is ready to go full time again in 2016.

southsider2k5 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien 1h Sorry to hear about Nate Jones. Tommy John surgery. Out 12-15 months. Hope one day we can tell the story of his great comeback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Well, considering we've always wanted to avoid paying relievers in arbitration since the Jenks years...and we're not even sure if he is going to be capable of being a high-quality 7th and 8th inning set-up guy in 2016, I'd say it's an interesting decision. Since the White Sox have adopted the philosophy that they can turn someone else's junk (Guerra, Noesi, Carroll, Belisario, Putnam, Cleto, Boggs, H.Rodriguez) into a bullpen piece, I'd say it's 50/50 at best they keep him. If he was left-handed and this was Matt Thornton after his first couple of seasons with the Sox, there would be no question about it. Otoh, Nate came up with the White Sox through our system, so there's going to be more of a likelihood to be "loyal." That said, baseball is a business and it's not only a UCL, it's the back issue, which we don't know a whole lot about. Can we be 100% sure his mechanics weren't/aren't going to be thrown off in the future compensating for back issues and putting undue stress on another part of the body. That's basically what happened with the Marlins' young ace, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but this has "good Samaritan" Jerry Reinsdorf written all over it.....you know JR probably feels horrible for the kid and will do anything he can do to accommodate him.
