Timmy U Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) McDougal is close to the innings he pitched last year. Maybe they’re gonna budget him the entire second half? Edited July 19 by Timmy U 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they actually going to consider him for a rotation spot by OD next year? I just don’t love the idea of calling up a young pitcher in September if they aren’t going to realistically be part of the pitching staff to start next season. Requires you to burn an option almost right of the gate and if they get injured down the stretch or in spring training they potentially lose service time if you decide to protect the option. But if they do think he could be part of the OD mix, then I’m more than ok with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has to be added to the 40-man in the offseason, sending him down in Spring Training would burn an option anyway. I don’t know his status there though on if he needs to be added or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he does, then you are right and it ultimately doesn’t matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 McDougal is Rule 5 eligible. He's a must keep which is why I'm expecting him to be on the White Sox 26 man to close out the year. He comes to spring training with the goal of winning a big league rotation spot with a host of others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind, I keep penciling in Thorpe for next year’s rotation, but the more I think about it, he likely won’t be ready by the start of next season, right?

He was set to undergo TJ in late March so it's probably safe to say that he won't be ready to begin the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be ready for Spring Training. Just all depends on when they decide he is strong enough and ready to face MLB hitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 3 hours ago, SoxBlanco said: Gut feeling? Or something specific about Thorpe and the way he pitches? Just the way rehab typically goes. The 18 months is the very conservative end and 12 months is the more accelerated end. These numbers take into account pitchers who have surgery in season so they miss one whole season just due to the timeline. Thorpe had surgery prior to the season so he should be more on the early end of the typical time as long as there are no unforseen set backs. There are always us and downs during the rehab process 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
