Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I hope he can regain his old form... before the injury, and strictly based on statistics and WAR, he was one of the top-10 relievers in all of baseball, closers included.

BigEdWalsh Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Great news! Sure hope he can get back to his old self. ''Nate looked great,'' Ventura said. ''Velocity-wise, he could probably go pitch now.'' Edited July 7, 2015 by BigEdWalsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him running into the dugout from the bullpen on Sunday. He looks bigger to me now. The key with him is control. Good to see he can still dial it up.

Balta1701 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Jones on his way to Winston Salem starting today for a rehab assignment. Reportedly 96-98 in last simulated game. While on subject, Crain pitched in 5 games in the Arizona Rookie League (counted as simulated games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I hope he recovers, that has to be so tough to nearly finish rehabbing one injury only to suffer from another long-term one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunt Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Getting Jones back by August for the 8th inning would be huge for that pen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Anything this year is a bonus. Just let him get his head straight that he is healthy. Put him on an inning every third or fourth day which is a lot easier in minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Nate Jones pitched a scoreless inning at Single-A Winston-Salem on Fri. Gave up hit. Of eight pitches, four were 100 mph. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/619913567622574080 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptatc Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 10, 2015 -> 09:48 PM) The picture worries me a bit. His hand is to full elevation before his foot hits the ground. This means the arm will start to accelerate without lower body support. The beginning of the acceleration is all arm. Not usually a good way to protect the arm. I wonder if the back issue is keeping him from complete rotation? It doesn't look like that from the picture though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the back issue is keeping him from complete rotation? It doesn't look like that from the picture though. Perhaps this photo captures the beginning of the extended 'pose' he has previously featured. His foot may land yet before he begins his acceleration process.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hypothetically speaking, Sox continue to creep closer to contention....Am I the only one who would look to package EJ and Putnam for a bat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
