6 hours ago6 hr Not a sure thing yet, but it makes sense knowing that the White Sox like to do this with their young pitchers. They already have Hagen Smith pitching in the bullpen in the minors. Sounds like we may see Schultz and Hagen Smith up as bullpen pieces this season. What are your thoughts on this?

Sounds like we may see Schultz and Hagen Smith up as bullpen pieces this season.It’s the right move. Add McDougal to the list as well. Watching Hagen out of the pen, it was the first time in what seemed to be forever where his stuff played up and looked near electric.
3 hours ago3 hr Of course this move may be predicated on acquiring starting pitching in the next 10 days. Can't have just three guys and two openers every five days.

Schweitzer, Richards and Murphy?That's fine. Some are acting like it's malpractice to get young, innings-limited starters work in the bullpen. It's not.
54 minutes ago54 min How could his limit be 100 innings if his previous high is 88 and 80 last year. That should put him around 130-140 this year. Never heard of 3 MLB years to ramp up to 150 innings lol.

Some are acting like it's malpractice to get young, innings-limited starters work in the bullpen. It's not.Mcdougal threw 113 innings last year and has thrown 38 this year.Hagen threw 90 over summer and fall. He's at 55 so far this year.
47 minutes ago47 min Rather see Mcdougal /Smith. Doesn't seem like Schultz stuff will play up that much in the pen.I also wouldnt rule out the jump from 89 innings to 115-120 IP this year. That would put Schultz through the end of the year. The problem isnt the limit, its that hes not good enough to stick in the rotation. Edited 44 minutes ago44 min by Buehrle>Wood
