Why wasn't Timo part for Core Four?

Wainwright out helps the Brewers. I liked them in the NL Central. I like them even more now.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 22, 2011 -> 11:12 AM) Remember the injury is healed. There is no longer a problem with the attachment of the lat. It was re-attached and probably still has an anchor there. The only thing he needs to do is build strength. He is starting at a weaker point in the muscles than the other pitchers. So there is no surprise that he is going to pitch soon. In fact to continue to build strength in the muscle they may have him pitch more. The glitch or expected problem that will happen is in strength and soreness from building the muscle not from the muscle re-attachment. I'm not really thinking about the lat injury. I'm just wondering what's next with Peavy. Will it be the shoulder? Will it be the elbow? I just think it's always going to be something with this guy. So if he's pain free and at the 100-pitch threshold by April 1, turn him loose and see what happens.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Feb 19, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) Merk says that Peavy is going to pitch in a game on March 4. I'm surprised they are giving him a game so early. I think that's pretty good news, though. I agree. It's very surprising that he has a game schedule already. I just hope they are cautious with him, but if he's ready for the April 9th start, that would be great. That's when the Sox will need a 5th starter for the first time. I hope they give him that extra week, and if he gets hurt, he gets hurt. It'll either happen in a Sox uniform or a Charlotte uniform, so they might as well go for it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 21, 2011 -> 03:49 PM) How has he not signed on to do his own talk show yet? If you think Floyd is Mr. Personality, check out Brent Morel. http://buzztap.com/link.jsp?id=3560430&amp..._medium=twitter

Word is Viciedo dropped more weight. Hopefully this will bode well for him in the outfield.

No kidding. 9 more days until games start, even if they don't count. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 19, 2011 -> 02:40 PM) Great pics, K. Damn I need some baseball.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Feb 19, 2011 -> 08:08 AM) That would be Cole Hamels. But I get the point you were trying to make. Yeah, I guess technically Hamels is a 4, but he's really a 3. I'd consider Halladay a 1. Lee and Oswalt are 2's, and Hamels is a 3. I consider Buehrle a 4 because of his production the last 5 seasons. On a championship team, he's the guy that you'd want pitching the 4th game at this point in his career. We need Danks, Jackson, and Floyd to step up, and man, if we get 25-30 starts from Peavy--and a postseason, then we have a shot this season.

Buehrle is the best 4th starter in baseball. As long as he wants to be paid like a 4th starter after this year, he can stay as long as he's putting up 32 starts and 200+ innings.

The other night, Al Leiter cited Alexei's error total, and said that his defense would have to improve if he's going to be higher on the shortstop list. Yikes. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 02:17 PM) Yeah, I would think so. Can't believe Alexei wasn't listed between 49-100. He is vastly underrated it seems.

Drink every time Hawk calls an era or a time frame, a "time zone".

He also said this might be the best White Sox team he's seen. For the 26th year in a row. QUOTE (G&T @ Feb 18, 2011 -> 07:49 AM) Ahhhh....Hawk is on the Score and mentioned Catfish within 45 seconds. It's that time of year and it feels good.

Pitchers and catchers report today and it's going to be 60! Here's a story on Josh Kinney... http://www.whig.com/story/sports/2-17-Schuck-Column

Len Lesser who played Uncle Leo on Seinfeld has passed away. He was 88.

Reinsdorf won't let anyone wear #6. It was unofficially retired for Charley Lau. Otherwise, Beckham would be 6 now.

Rod Allen is a Tigers broadcaster. They were heavy on the Tigers last week on MLBN. I try not to care about "Sox Love" from the national media. I go with a "Who cares? Just win, baby." attitude.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 14, 2011 -> 02:41 PM) Nothing fancy to start this thread out with. Since it's training camp time, here's the thread for the teams we play 19 times each season. The last time the Sox had a schedule where they played a team 19 games in a season was 2006. It's been 9 home/9 away since then. Of course, the Sox ended up playing the Twins 19 games in 2008, but it's a scheduled 18 games, and has been for several years now.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jan 25, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) Your 2011 White Sox numbers: 1- Pierre 3- Baines 8- Cox 10- Ramirez 11- Vizquel 12- Pierzynski 13- Guillen 14- Konerko 15- Beckham 17- Flowers 18- Lillibridge 20- Quentin 21- Cooper 22- Morel 23- Teahen 24- Viciedo 26- Crain 27- Castro 28- Cora 29- Walker 30- De Aza 31- Ohman 32- Dunn 33- Jackson 34- Floyd 36- Nieves 37- Thornton 38- Gartrell 40- Bruney 41- Humber 44- Peavy 45- McPherson 46- Santos 47- Infante 48- Marquez 49- Sale 50- Danks 51- Rios 52- Kinney 53- Dolsi 54- Nunez 55- Lucy 56- Buehrle 57- Pena 58- Harrell 59- Salas 60- Gray 61- Hynick 62- Escobar 63- Cofield 64- Carter 65- Jones 66- Lindsay 67- Danks 68- Socolovich 70- Bellamy 71- Leesman 74- Price 75- Phegley 76- Short Ohman is now going with 77. Milledge has been assigned #5.

Eh, maybe it'll be Chris Sale. If he's stretching himself out in spring training, he can start until Peavy is ready. I think Sale can make the move from starter to bullpen one time during the season. But if he moves from starter to bullpen in April, he's got to stay in the pen the rest of the season. He can't keep bouncing back and forth.

Man, it would really suck if they play 6 months of baseball, only for it to end up Phillies/Red Sox in the Series.
