June 5, 20169 yr Why is reporting "Tuesday or Wednesday"? Players get dealt all the time and manage to make it in a day. We're freefalling and we want 3 more starts before he gets in there? I like the deal. Not gonna save season but he'll be solid. And i May be most excited at that pickoff move. Dude can actually stop a run game. Can you say that about any of our starters? For the most part teams steal at will. Be nice to have someone who looks at that stuff. Won't miss EJ. Tatis seemed to have upside but never know. Need a bat. Maybe two bats. And a real lefty relief pitcher.
June 5, 20169 yr Quintana starts tomorrow. He wouldn't start over Q. We're off Monday. The schedule makes perfect sense. It's nice were in the position to give him an extra day vacation for a massive sudden life change

I would imagine he pitches Tuesday or Wednesday depending on who they choose to replace.
June 5, 20169 yr Author Ah. Makes sense. I'd start him Tuesday no matter who he replaces. Just push the other one a day. Who do you guys thinks is the odd man out. I think Miguel either to AAA or pen where we could actually use a long man. On another note, I'd like to see Coats stay on Monday and Sands go bye bye. 40% k rate.
June 5, 20169 yr The same reason the team goes from Spring Training ending to the regular season and they always have 2-3 days to get everything organized for their big move... Just common sense. Why would a starter who won't pitch until Tuesday and already knows the AL so well need to rush to get to DET to watch Quintana pitch against Verlander? To be the new head cheerleader and team motivator/performance psychologist? If anything, it would completely smack of desperation if they pushed him to come fast. Introduce him to the media in Chicago on the offday Monday or more likely Tuesday early afternoon. MLB rules and regulations say exactly how much time the players are entitled to before they have to report, anyway. Not a White Sox policy, it was a union-negotiated one.
June 5, 20169 yr It allows them to keep the person on the roster until Shields pitches. Maybe it allows them to make a deal for Latos or Gonzalez to make a roster spot.
June 5, 20169 yr Author The same reason the team goes from Spring Training ending to the regular season and they always have 2-3 days to get everything organized for their big move... Yes if you have that luxury. Coats got called up next day he's here. Guys get traded and play the next day. Now you're right about Quintana and off-day. My point is - Miguel or Mat - whoever is due to pitch Tuesday - should not. He can make it work by Tuesday. That's my point. No delaying till Wednesday. Those games matter. He can resume getting settled on the 4 days in between his next start.
