August 9, 20169 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 03:53 PM) lol, that means he was 1 day short when they sent him down. He'll get it now. Really? He was that close. Wow. Just the fact they called him up today means he has it already then.
August 9, 20169 yr QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) I was thinking Shuck might be the worst position player in the majors, but I think that award goes to Mike Aviles. Shuck > Navarro
August 9, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 02:14 PM) Yep. 34k per year after 43 days of service. A lot of folks could live decently on 34 thousand a year for the rest of their lives for 43 days of service. Didn't realize it was that good. I thought at one time it was four years service before you could qualify, I guess that was bargained to what it is now in deals between the owners and the MLBPA. Mark
August 9, 20169 yr The true White Sox charity...guys like Carroll and Coats have a reasonable amount of family security guaranteed for life now.
August 10, 20169 yr Did he hurt himself playing or off day nonsense? Nevermind- they said it happened in the on deck circle on Saturday. Stretching it out. Edited August 10, 20169 yr by flavum
August 13, 20169 yr I had a feeling that I'd come back and find a thread where people were somehow amazed at the number of injuries during a year where the team really wasn't all that beaten up. We had a couple unusually lucky years in a row, with almost record-breaking health, so a year that's not extreme, but even still fairly healthy, looks "snakebit". 2016 for the White Sox is about average so far on total days on the DL, below average in WAR lost to the DL. White Sox have had just over 500 man-days on the DL this year, the Dodgers have had over 1300, and some of those were this Kershaw dude.
