March 9, 201511 yr QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 07:14 AM) Those two would make a nice pickup at the deadline it would be like making a trade without making a trade.
March 9, 201511 yr Doen't the Spring Training I hope to be back by the All Star break in reality mean hopefully September?
March 9, 201511 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 9, 2015 -> 07:48 AM) Doen't the Spring Training I hope to be back by the All Star break in reality mean hopefully September? Rather agree. Would feel better if he said June. Any further delay pretty much torches his season. I guess I'm slightly more optimistic about Crain.
March 9, 201511 yr Nate Jones is so far out of sight out of mind for me, the only time I really remember the guy is when i see his bad car commercial

I guess I'm slightly more optimistic about Crain. acquiring talent.... that is the best scenario, let the players separate themselves. it just makes this team even stronger, come playoff time.

Either way, it was an awkward and bad commercial.
March 9, 201511 yr I'll consider us lucky if 1/3 of albers, crain, and jones make substantial contributions to the team this year.
March 9, 201511 yr If the Sox make the playoffs, and Crain, Jones and Alberts are all healthy, then the team is going to have a lot of options in the bullpen before they get to Robertson.
March 27, 201511 yr Throwing a bullpen. That's good news. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/581487764937404417
March 27, 201511 yr I love Nate Jones. I hope he recovers and makes a contribution to this team. He could make a big difference if he's healthy.

He could make a big difference if he's healthy. all i have to say, if Jones comes back as expected, then Cain, and all the prospects, this system will have THE Strongest pen in the entire MLB. not to get the baseball gods pissed.

Agreed. Putnam, Petricka, and Guerra also have to prove that they're not one year flukes. If they can pitch like they did last year, this bullpen is in pretty good shape.

Even when/if he gets back here, you aren't going to see "Nate Jones" until 2016. The first year back is almost always a step below the career norms.
March 27, 201511 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 01:24 PM) Even when/if he gets back here, you aren't going to see "Nate Jones" until 2016. The first year back is almost always a step below the career norms. Is that as regularly true for relievers as it is for starters?
March 31, 201511 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 43m43 minutes ago Chris Sale pitching in a Minor League game Wednesday. Nate Jones also set to through a side on Wed
April 1, 201511 yr Colleen Kane @ChiTribKane 58m58 minutes ago Nate Jones said he threw 20 pitches off the mound today. Seemed pumped.
