Morning notes: Notes on things other than Chris Sale

Morning notes: Notes on things other than Chris Sale
Orlando Hudson has charmed us all with competent major league at-bats from the 3rd base position, but Brent Morel is on the recovery trail and has a starting job waiting for him if Robin Ventura sticks to his words. Morel took BP, did some exercises, and should be starting rehab work in Charlotte Wednesday, which... Read more »

Danks to the DL, Quintana up - What's the appropriate level of concern?

Danks to the DL, Quintana up - What's the appropriate level of concern?
The announcement of John Danks being sent to the disabled list Thursday afternoon didn’t come with a great deal of warning. His lingering shoulder soreness wasn’t a topic of discussion during the week.   His Friday start wasn’t pushed back to give him some rest, then canceled altogether. No, the first word of any problems... Read more »

Team at a crossroads, or hungry for attendance

Team at a crossroads, or hungry for attendance
In the wake of a three-game sweep of the Cubs, there’s as much reason to be optimistic about the 2012 Sox as there ever has been. They’re back to .500, the starting rotation is healthy and performing well, and the AL Central looks to be up for grabs with projected powerhouse Detroit sporting a losing... Read more »

Chris Sale's a starter again

Chris Sale's a starter again
Well, the important thing is that it all worked out in the end. The confusing week-long sequence of Chris Sale being bounced back and forth from the bullpen came to end Friday with Kenny Williams weighing in for the first time, and swiftly ending the debate. Kenny Williams says that Chris Sale will likely start tomorrow... Read more »

Sale's future comes down to an MRI?

Sale's future comes down to an MRI?
The debate over Sale is now a week long, attracting both local attention for its importance to the White Sox future, and national attention for the curiousness of its process.  As it happens, the White Sox are the only team in a protracted debate over whether to turn the jewel of their organization into a...

Chris Sale's future isn't getting clearer anytime soon

Chris Sale's future isn't getting clearer anytime soon
Tuesday night marked the return of Chris Sale to the bullpen.  No longer a rookie getting his feet wet, Sale now comes to the pen in the manner that most relievers do; after an unsuccessful stretch as a starter that he feels was wrongly cut short. His switch back to the bullpen was so shocking... Read more »

We're just focusing on our focus

We're just focusing on our focus
During the most recent episode of the Baseball Prospectus’ podcast, hosts Kevin Goldstein and Jason Parks fielded a question from a reader that asked how many teams would commit $10 million to sign top pitching prospect Archie Bradley to an 8-year deal.  Goldstein and Parks quipped that every team would jump at such an absurd...

Duffed it

Duffed it
Blown saves happen.  They really just happen and happen and happen.  It’d be a mistake to blow one out of proportion, especially after last April convinced everyone that Matt Thornton was suddenly terrible for a month.  As brutal as Monday’s 10-4 sneak attack loss to the Orioles seemed, there’s a very good chance it’s all...

White Sox Week That Was - 4/9-4/15: Overwhelmingly positive

White Sox Week That Was - 4/9-4/15: Overwhelmingly positive
In this instant-reaction world full of judgmental blogs like this one, teams are often thought of as being no better than their most recent dull thud against an average-ish sinker-baller.  Sunday’s effort against Rick Porcello and defensive betrayal of Chris Sale certainly left a lot to be desired, but far from undid the work of...

White Sox miss out on baseball, Guillen

White Sox miss out on baseball, Guillen
The White Sox Tuesday night tilt with the Indians was called off on account of cold, wind, rain, snow, and it being April in Cleveland.  Things don’t figure to get much better in time for tomorrow’s scheduled 11 AM CDT getaway day time, but it’s still scheduled to go on. Philip Humber’s getting skipped in... Read more »
