Pretty much unless Buerhle falls off of a cliff, he will be the opening day starter as long as he is here.

Its always sad to see a guy cut short like this due to no fault of his own. I'll miss ya Joe!

Too bad LeBron is a chicken s***.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 19, 2011 -> 10:57 AM) I haven't seen his 3rd pitch enough...but I'll still say, last year he was throwing best raw LH fastball/slider I've seen since Liriano-06. Maybe better. Probably better control. If we're comparing him to Stras...average Pitch-FX velocity for Stras last year was 97.6, Sale was 95.9. The difference being Strasburg was a starter and Sale was a reliever.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 08:51 AM) you can start throwing between 6-8 months and pitching around 9. However, as with most ligament repairs most athletes will say they don't "feel" normal until around 18 months regardless of everything else. As I said previously reparing or replacing passive tissue structures is alot different than active tissue. In Nathan's case they replced tissue. In Peavy's they just re-attached current tissue. There's a big difference in healing time. When you replace tissue it needs to "die " first since it was a tendon and was removed. During this phase they need to wear protective braces and they can't do too much activity. Once it dies it needs to get a new blood supply and regenerate. Once it begins to regenerate it comes back with more ligament properties than tendons. It amazing but no one really knows why this happens. There are throries but no true answers. This is why ligament replacement healing takes longer than just a re-attachment. Thanks again for posting here. Things like this are so valuable.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 19, 2011 -> 08:05 AM) Um, no it doesn't. At least not with Strasburg. He's got 3++ pitches with freakish velocity. It doesn't matter that he doesn't throw left-handed. Prior was the same way before he became a punch line. Sale has some great stuff but he isn't in that neighborhood.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Feb 19, 2011 -> 03:20 AM) They waited until spring to make that announcement because they wanted him to do his normal offseason preparation. It didn't hurt that they waited. Has it been asked if Peavy was out until, say, June or July, would Sale have been in the starting rotation? (or at least been giving a shot at a starting job)

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 19, 2011 -> 12:38 AM) Well I know there is no rule, but you have to look at each of these on an individual basis. I can guarantee you that Stephen Strasburg would have been just fine with no minor league experience, and Mark Prior probably would have too. Those two, coincidentally in this instance, have either suffered an injury or have battled injuries their entire career. The White Sox called Sale up as quickly as they did because they were in a pennant race and he has the stuff and command to be able to get major league hitters out. That will be true again this year. It's also not done often because the pitcher is not ready to get major league hitters out. It has less to do with the idea and more to do with the ability of the pitcher. I could start for the Cleveland Indians on Opening Day, no minor league experience, and I would get shelled. It has nothing to do with my lack of minor league experience and everything to do with my inability to get hitters out. That's why the minor leagues exist. Chris Sale is an example of a pitcher who has stuff to get major league hitters out, so, again, you have to treat each of them on an individual basis. And the White Sox certainly will give Sale a chance to start. The only problem I see is that Sale could certainly struggle initially and the Sox might pull the plug too quickly - Williams and company have shown a tendency to do that. Hopefully they will have a long leash with him if he begins to struggle. Chris Sale has no where near the stuff that Prior and Strausburg had at the same ages.

Buehrle is a sort of Pujols situation for us. We know if we extend him, we will probably be paying him for more than he is worth at the end of his contract. Do the Sox owe him that? Do the Sox have to do it to appease their fanbase?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 04:18 PM) they really don't have to, their job is to advocate for their players, like any defense situation, it's not really a matter of "good taste" it comes down to ensure the person you are defending is getting due process. They defended Steve Howe.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 09:50 AM) Giordanos did something to their sauce a few years ago adding cinnamon or something of the like and now its not as good IMO. It doesnt make my top 5 pizza places. Lou's doesnt really use sauce, they use chunky tomatoes and they've been the same supplier since the 70's. My top 5 pizzas in no particular order: 1. Salernos 2. Mrs T's 3. Lou's 4. Art of Pizza 5. Coalfire (for super thin crust) Ugh. thin crust is disgusting.
