I'm sure the thinking is that Carrasco looked good vs the Rangers last time.

FWIW, Egbert would have been on the same schedule as Jose.

If he somehow got a start for the ML team, I would be afraid of what you might do/react. It would be scary...

methinks we're in for a rough stretch...

I couldn't agree more. KW needs to find us another arm, if not two.

Contreras to the DL with suckitis.

Might as well DL Javy and a few of our other Cy Youngs (pen and rotation) then. And Coop too.

 

*Edit* Didn't think I needed to use that green font thing, but just in case.

He started last night.

 

He throws a knuckleball, he could start on two days rest.

With Carrasco warming up today, I doubt he's starting on Tuesday.

Bring up somebody who has been starting in minors. Please no Masset or Carrasco.

If Egbert gets a start, I gotta really question the thought process of Sox management. Haeger should be the favorite.

It seems Ozie was not happy with Contreras being less than up front with staff about his arm problem

With Jose going to the DL and our lack of pitchers truly ready to start from the farm, KW is pretty much forced into making a deal. (Jose's injury may be a blessing in disguise). I really hope he goes after Duscherer and not a guy like Burnett, and HELL NO to Rausch. Burnett is overpayed and reminds me of Javy- throws heat and can dominate but can also go on a string of 5-6 straight loses. Can a Street/Duscherer combo come to the White Sox in a big deal? I know its unlikely but i know KW has had his scouts check them both out. We would probably have to send Fields, Poreda, Richar, Broadway etc... to get them both but i think this would not only solidify our rotation the rest of the way, but it would ease the stress of our struggling pen lately with guys like Thorton, Dotel and Linebrink pitching a lot the last few weeks.
