Last year, only 12 AL pitchers pitched more than 210 innings. And only 21 made 32+ starts. So you're lucky if you have two guys that make all of their starts. That's ridiculously low, in my opinion.

Looks like the Pirates are picking up Morel.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 24, 2014 -> 11:56 AM) A rookie is doing well to average 6 innings a start, so even if he makes 32 starts that's 192 innings, which is only 13% above what he did last year. I expect Sale, Quintana, and Danks to be over 200 innings, but that's pretty rare for a rookie. Everything would have to go right for Johnson to make 32 starts, and I do think he's capable of getting to 200 innings. More than likely though, there will be rainouts and doubleheaders where his start total will go down to 29-31, and he'll end up in the 180-185 range.

6-man rotation is a horrible idea. Here's what the need to shoot for: Sale, 34 starts, 230-240 innings Quintana, 33 starts, 215-225 innings Danks, 32 starts, 210-220 innings Johnson, 32 starts, 190-200 innings Paulino, 31 starts, 180-190 innings Obviously things come up during a season, but they should never plan for a 6-man rotation.

That sucks. Way too young.

Incredible shots by Dubuisson. If he wins this, this will be talked about for years.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 22, 2014 -> 01:44 PM) How wonderful that sounds. Baseball can't come soon enough. Word. Also looking forward to seeing Abreu's first fake at-bat. Also Flowers is starting and Ventura says he has the inside track to the starting job.

Sale getting the start on Friday.

Rough day for Morel. http://instagram.com/p/krdYE8Rxbs/#

Wow, you talk about 4 guys that need to have good years. Mitchell and Walker---not going to make it. Thompson--maybe, but he needs to put up 5 good months. Hawkins--play well enough to get to Birmingham in 2015. If not, how's his pitching arm?

Sox 30 Clubs in 30 Days is March 5.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Ben Finfer is leaving The Score to head over to The Game. Damn, I kinda called that one. As a baseball freak, I hope they don't pair up Bruce Levine with Connor McKnight, who I can't stand to listen to. Finfer was at least passable, even though he's sarcastic all day, every day.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 02:02 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1h Jose Abreu said he looks forward to having access to Paul Konerko this season. #WhiteSox Yeah, that sounds like something Dan Hayes would ask about. (or Merkin)

Hardly a celebrity, but Drew Denson died last week. He had a cup of coffee with the Sox in 1993. http://www.baseballhappenings.net/2014/02/...aves-first.html

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 04:11 PM) 6am? Whats up with that? Tape delay. Besides the 9pm game on March 15, if it's not starting at 3pm, it's on tape delay.

MLB Network will show a bunch of Sox games for the out of towners: 2-28 4pm at Dodgers (2 hour delay) 3-10 3pm at Brewers (live) 3-14 6am at Angels 3-14 11pm vs Indians 3-15 9pm vs Dodgers (live) 3-16 7pm at Rangers 3-18 6am at Brewers 3-18 3pm vs A's (live) 3-19 3pm vs Angels (live) 3-21 3pm vs Cubs (live) 3-23 3am vs Giants 3-25 6am at Mariners 3-26 3pm vs Reds (live) 3-28 6am at Cubs

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 18, 2014 -> 09:28 AM) Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 37m White Sox slugger Jose Abreu will have his first state of spring training media event this mourning . Levine must be in mourning because he's not on the Cubs.

Hard to believe the Sox have a home game in 6 weeks. This winter just won't end.

Never liked it when an old guy comes from another country and wins the ROY. So I'm not going to care if Abreu wins it. I just want him to have a good season. If it were up to me, you would have to be in your Age 25 season or earlier to qualify.

Gotta love this time of year... https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/434718608518684673

QUOTE (Whitey @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 07:21 AM) I had the chance to meet Jim Fergosi when I was 11 at a car dealership promotion. It was right after Greg Walker's seizure, who was one of my favorite players on the Sox at the time. We talked about that and he signed an autograph for me. I can't recall the details of the conversation, but I do remember walking away thinking that Jim Fergosi was an awesome dude. I liked him ever since. RIP Since you spelled his name wrong, it reminds me when he was hired by the Sox, his jersey had FERGOSI. Fregosi said, "My ex-wife and kids used to misspell it, too--except when it was time to go to the bank".

Fregosi passed away. A credit to Baseball. Rest in Peace.
