PorkChopExpress Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I saw a jersey with the name Jones on it behind Samrdzija in his interview last night and wondered if it meant Nate Jones was coming back soon. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand ... Mr. Negativity checking in here. Crain wasn't good in his last stint with the Sox and Nate was not great that is for sure. In fact I was a Nate hater the last time around.

Heads22 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Crain had a 0.74 ERA in 38 games in his last stint with the White Sox. What exactly do you want? I expect zero out of him, but to describe any part of his stint with the White Sox as anything other than orgasmically great is ridiculous.

A non-"closer" reliever who made an All-Star team and chalked up 6.1 bWAR in less than three full seasons, and was a valued trade chip ON THE DISABLED LIST. Yeah, he was terrible!

southsider2k5 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 It will be interesting to see if these guys get healthy, whose spots they take. We are pretty deep in righties in the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are pretty deep in righties in the pen. you know, yesterday someone made a post about how long they been away. with that, they may do well and go to the minors for the rest of the season to build up arm strength and endurance. but i am sure the FO has a game plan set up.

Harry Chappas Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I think for relievers the time away is not as great a deal as starters. If they can get healthy they could add soemthing. I am a big fan of both as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Nate Jones as the RH 8th inning guy would be nice. Jones/Duke/Robertson is a nasty backend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Jones healthy for the 7th and Crain for the 8th and Robertson in the 9th. I'm on board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
