Sale
Peavy Danks Quintana Axelrod Santiago From what I've read, the cons of a 6-man rotation seem to be: a. don't let your ace pitch so often; b. mess with your bullpen;and, c. weaken your bench. But given the current situation with the Sox; a. Sale might benefit from more rest (he just missed a start); b. our bull pen is already unsettled; c. well, you know all about our bench. In addition, wouldn't Peavy and Danks benefit from some extra rest? I'm not a baseball expert like some other posters here, so I'm asking an honest question. I'd appreciate hearing the thoughts of others.

Maybe give a guy a spot start here and there during long stretches without days off to give guys extra rest, but going strictly 6-man, I think under utilizes your best pitchers and risk overtaxing your worst.

We may have to do this out of necessity, anyways. But what you all have said makes sense. I'm just a little worried about everyone holding up over the long haul given their past history.

No, I understand your concern, it's perfectly valid, but this is also the corner you paint yourself in when you play like **** for the first month of the season and bury yourself early. The Sox, unfortunately, don't have the luxury to not ride their best players now, they're in catch up mode. So you're kind of damned if you do or damned if you don't. But I think it's preferable that if you're going to go down, you do so with your best players contributing as much to the cause as possible (just my opinion).

We ain't got six aces out there.

I don't know if you caught it or not. The Sox have probably the best head trainer in sports. They have been by far the healthiest MLB for well over a decade. |

Which is funny, because of Hector's screwball, he throws much more like a righty if you're looking at the splits.

Actually, wouldn't the "odd man out" be better off going to Charlotte ( as long as he has options) and remaining a starter than going to the White Sox bullpen and getting spot duty. That way if another starter goes down for a stretch, we have one ready to go at AAA.
