QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 09:06 AM) Jeez, how many of us are married to teachers on here? Too many.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 10:07 AM) Cease sounds like an incredibly talented player, but I don't like reading about high schoolers already needing Tommy John, I don't like seeing a non-physical frame with most of it generated via athleticism and arm speed, and I don't like seeing high-effort delivery. Some of those things can be altered to improve, but that's a ton of risk. Sounds like a whole lot of things that the Sox would pass on.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 10:18 AM) f*** Detroit

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 10:05 AM) The Sox web site lists him as prospect #15 with an ETA of 2016. Mistake #1, reading the White Sox website for prospect information.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) So is your game just to never advocate for anything and just criticize when other people take a firm position or do you actually think Jordan Danks is a good leadoff hitter and we'd be better off with Viciedo as a platoon only player? I'll give you a hint... it isn't the latter.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) pretty sure he is, hopefully he doesn't bust out, have faith in him The kid is 17. We have YEARS to just forget he is even in the system. To put it in perspective, he could debut in 2020, and he would still only be 23 years odl.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 08:25 AM) That is all fine and dandy, but how much medical experience does that guy have and what access does he have to Sale's medical files? The fact that the team isn't doing anything extra besides rest makes me feel better about things.

I don't remember it for sure.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 07:33 AM) Today is the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Field. A pregame ceremony will honor all of the Cubs championship teams that have played there, delaying the start of the game by zero minutes. I so stole this.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 07:29 AM) What's new about Flowers's approach? He's walking and striking out pretty much exactly the same amount as he was last year. Watch some games man. He is wearing out right and right center with two strikes.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 23, 2014 -> 05:58 AM) Perhaps our new hitting coach has been coaching them? I seriously doubt Abreu has offered much technical advice to either player. Viciedo and Flowers at the very least have completely different approaches at the plate this year. Dunn is also approaching things differently.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 25m Sale on MRI reading by doctor: "I heard ‘UCL was excellent’ and I walked out. That’s all I needed to hear." Sale was devastated talking to the media in '12, when moved to the bullpen temporarily. Extremely upbeat and positive today

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 04:02 PM) I don't even know what your response means, but you clearly aren't aware that Rose only played 39 games the year he got injured and averaged a measly 35:14 mpg. If that's overused, then everyone should just kill themselves. That mpg put him at 37th in the league that season, behind guys like Andrew f***ing Bogut, Joe Johnson, Raymond f***ing Felton, etc. He wasn't over-used. He just gets hurt a lot. Dude is fragile.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 03:54 PM) From what you hear (and ptact if you're around I'd obviously love to hear your opinion as well), is it possible the PRP treatment is aimed towards limiting this soreness in the future with less concern for an immediate turnaround? It's conceivable, considering the state of the team, that they would rather deal with this lingering injury upfront now, rather than have the same thing happen again next year when it has the potential to be much more detrimental. Sale and the Sox stated he did not have this treatment.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 1m Almost same thing he experienced 2 years ago when he was temporarily sent to bullpen, Sale said. Sale: "It made me a little more nervous because you dont know." Was same soreness in same spot he usually feels after a start, only more.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 4m Sale and the White Sox said he has not had any plasma injections

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1m Adam Eaton is encouraged by tests on his hamstring. Hopes he might be back by tomorrow. #whitesox

Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 7m Chris Sale said he was relieved to get "as good as news as we could have gotten" about no ligament damage in his elbow. Chris Sale said he doesn't expect DL stint to go beyond the 15 days. Doesn't think he will need a rehab start. Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 8m Sale does not expect to miss more than two starts. Very upbeat Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 7m Sale has no doubts that he'll be ready when he comes off the DL next weekend.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 10m Gillaspie, out of lineup v RHP, has had his left hand wrapped at times this past week. Getting treatment.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 22, 2014 -> 02:28 PM) I didn't see a breakdown of the scrum, what exactly did Maldonado do that was the worst of all of them? Throwing haymakers in the scrum.

Officially official now South Side Sox ‏@SouthSideSox 13m Charlie Leesman recalled from Charlotte; Chris Sale to the DL retroactive to April 18 http://sbn.to/RJh9i2

Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 5m RHP Frank Francisco is headed to AAA Charlotte after a stint in extended spring training. Sox had signed him to minor league deal April 14.
