whitesoxfan101 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Go ahead and vote. I say yes, seeing as this season is just about a lost cause. No need to rush one of the most important future cogs to this team back when we're .500, can't stay out of our own way, and are dangerously close to falling out of the race if we haven't already.

Buehrle>Wood Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 It's not an arm/shoulder injury so I don't buy that we need to protect him. If he's healthy, he's healthy and needs to go out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 What's the precaution for? He is coming back from an ankle injury that has fully healed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is coming back from an ankle injury that has fully healed. We've been rushing him back to a certain degree. He'd have probably been shut down for the year if he were still in San Diego, and considering how important he is to the future, I think shutting him down and keeping a few extra innings that won't matter off his arm wouldn't be the worst thing.

hogan873 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 There's no real reason to shut him down. I don't know if I'd pitch him this weekend, but he should definitely pitch this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sin city sox fan Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Might as well trade him right now.....as soon as he throws a pitch thats not a strike, you'll start hearing "fans" say he sucks and is worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have too much money invested in this guy to screw around with him and this is the 2nd straight year he's spent a good amount of time on the DL.

flavum Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) I'm willing to declare the Sox dead. If Peavy can come back and get a few starts, fine. But they shouldn't bring him back any sooner than he wants. It's not worth it at this point. Just bring Torres back for a few starts and Peavy for a few starts, and Garcia can get his 5-6 starts, and then the season will finally be over.

Yeah because 6ish starts at the end of the season is really going to take a toll on his arm you know considering he hasn't pitched most of the season. Â Â It's his ankle, and it's healed. There is not 1 reason to shut Peavy down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 You might want to be careful, but I don't think shutting him down is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I don't see any reason to pitch him if we go 2-8 on the trip or worse. For that matter, Mark ought to get the last 2 weeks of the season off. Rest him up for what we think will be a good rotation next year.

There is not 1 reason to shut Peavy down.  Not one huh? Every arm only has so many pitches in it, and Peavy is no exception. Considering that, where we are as a team and in the standings, and how long and expensive Peavy's contract is, I can see plenty of reasons to keep those half a dozen or so starts worth of pitches from being thrown.

rangercal Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 anyone who voted to "shut him down" must have not been a sox fan at the time of the white flag trade and felt the pain of the organization quitting on a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
