10 hours ago10 hr Pitching him today, he should be on schedule. Good for everyone involved. Fedde is much more effective as a starter then a reliever.
10 hours ago10 hr They will probably be early bullpen guys and not get many stressful innings. Wish we had a couple hitters we could bring into the fold

10 hours ago10 hr One frustrating thing is that they should have had Castillo start tonight and Schultz last night. Basically punted tonight’s game against a divisional opponent.
10 hours ago10 hr Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal -Cue "Experiment in Terror" -Henry Mancini... for those who recall "Creature Features" late Friday nights on WGN. Edited 10 hours ago10 hr by tray
10 hours ago10 hr Hope all 4 of these guys involved ultimately have long and successful careers with this franchise.
9 hours ago9 hr Needed fresh arms. I wonder who gets the DFA.And with Thorpe set to come off the 60-day soon, I don't have any clue how the Sox feel about him. Will he get a shot at innings in MLB, will he get optioned and lie in wait for a while, will he be DFA'd?

2 hours ago2 hr Can't they just 60 day Bart? I hope they dont expect him back regardless of what Getz said

Will he get a shot at innings in MLB, will he get optioned and lie in wait for a while, will he be DFA'd?Why would you DFA Thorpe? First, there is still some obvious fat on the 40 man roster. Joe Rock, Tyler Davis, & Tyler Gilbert should be amongst the first guys to go. Second, he has all three options remaining and worst case scenario can serve as important depth AAA role to start next season. Obviously it would be great if he could force his way into a rotation spot sooner, but he can still play an important role regardless. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Chicago White Sox
1 hour ago1 hr Hagen Smith since switching to relief (6.1 & 5.1 IP respectively):With 1st appearance: 14.21 K/9 | 5.68 BB/9 | 0.00 HR/9 | 1.42 ERA | 2.27 FIPW/o 1st appearance: 13.50 K/9 | 1.69 BB/9 | 0.00 HR/9 | 0.00 ERA | 1.10 FIPObviously SSS’s, but he’s been incredible over his last 5 appearances with 8 K’s to just 1 BB. I know people freak out about his velocity, but that may very well be intentional to better command his pitches.
1 hour ago1 hr I like it. Screw it, let them learn the growing pains now. We are a year or two ahead of schedule. I rather go down with my best. I still would've left Noah up, but pitched him out of the bullpen for some gas. And I would call up Thorpe. He had some good stuff. Have him as an opener at the very least since his type of surgery usually takes a half year of actual pitching to get the good feels going. Schultz & Smith to the pen
