May 24, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (flavum @ May 23, 2009 -> 05:22 PM) Might be a good night for pitching. I did say "might". Rough at every level tonight. Jordan Danks 2-4. Now at .370.
May 24, 200916 yr If JorDanks keeps it up and has a great season at AA there is no reason to think he wouldn't come into the Spring in '10 with his eye on the starting gig in center... And be heavily considered....
May 24, 200916 yr Another big development not many people are talking about is Nathan Jones. Had a great start in Kanny, now doing his thing in WS. Tonight, 2 inn, 0 hits, no runs, no walks (most important stat to me) and 3 Ks. He has a chance to be a lights-out reliever with a sick combination of high 90s heat and a wicked 12-to-6 curveball. I am starting to believe in him.
May 24, 200916 yr One of Hudson's worse outings this year. 5 IP, 6 H, 5 BB, 4 K, 3 R, 3 ER Impressive that he only gave up 3 runs after allowing 11 base runners in 5 innings. Looks like he didn't have his command today.
May 24, 200916 yr Contreras got rocked. 5.2 IP, 8 H, 2 BB, 8 K, 7 R, 5 ER I think it's about time we try and see what he can do in a relief role.

May 24, 200916 yr QUOTE (Jim Spencer @ May 23, 2009 -> 10:21 PM) Some one should of told Jose With CR starting to establish himself, it's going to get very interesting to watch what Aaron Poreda does in his next 3-4 starts. Colon seems to be living on luck, and Contreras is approaching sitiuational relief territority. We could be seeing the start of the next generation of White Sox starting pitching.

Well said with Colon living on luck; I couldn't agree more. Seems he throws that same 89-91 hard-tailing fastball every pitch. Does he throw an off-speed pitch? I don't even know why he's been as successful as he has with one pitch. Definitely going to need one more starter, 2 if Clay falls flat, don't know if Poreda is that guy yet. I hope it's a good Contreras.

Thank you for eternity for 2005 and most of 2006, Jose. But you f***in' suck.

It'll be very interesting to see what the sox do in the future. Say if Richard figures it out, and Poreda develops his secondary pitches, what happens? I seriosuly doubt we'd carry 4 LHP in the rotation for the forseeable future. It's a very good problem to have though. We all know Buehrle and Danks aren't going anywhere... especially Danks.
