I get email updates from a news station down here, and here is the lastest one I got:



I could not find anything else about this, anyone else know anything?

22 months? Yikes

This is the first I've heard of it. Not cool if thats the case.

If this story is accurate about Jake Peavy, White Sox General Manager Ken Williams is getting a bucket and ready to vomit. He traded lefty starter Clay Richard & righty reliever Aaron Poreda to the supposedly cash-strapped Padres to get Peavy in the first place. I'm not so sure Peavy will be ready for Spring Training in the wake of a rare injury to the back of his throwing shoulder. This doesn't look good by any means...

Besides, the bucket won't be happy!

_________________

I think he means Anyway or Regardless...not besides



Like, Ryne Sandberg is not ready to manage a big league club, besides he's getting re married next week.

I recently read that Peavy was way ahead of schedule and was going to start playing soft toss in a couple weeks. This is sad news if he had a major setback and requires another surgery.

Mark Prior

Peavy won a Cy young. Prior won nothing. Stop it now.... Huge insult to a guy like Peavy. Prior is a giant pussy.

Peavy might not even be able to do the towel drill ever again.

_________________

Prior will probably never pitch in the majors again. Comparing these two guys is silly. If both never pitched again Peavy would be head and shoulders(pun intended) above Prior.

Even though Mark Prior signed a minor league deal with the Rangers, I think that's as far as he went. Once upon a time, a lot of the Cubs' hopes, like or not, were pinned on Prior & Kerry Wood...

Prior's 2003 was as good as any season Peavy ever had.

He would have won the Cy Young if not for admitted obvious steroid user Eric Gagne


To say nothing of the Petco effect

Remember when they said Prior's problem was "exceptional looseness in his shoulder"?
I think he had looseness in his screws.
Not a fair comparison to Peavy.

...so I'm just going to assume the hillbillies got it wrong.

Well obviously Peavy has a more accomplished career, but Chile made it sound like he achieved nothing.

Thats not true.
His 2003 season was nothing short of spectacular.

this

I hope so, I have not been able to find anything else on it.

On the good side, 22 months gives him just enough time for when Edwin Jackson moves on and Hudson is with the Diamondbacks for five more years.

I've never liked his delivery. His herky jerky motion looks awkward to me. He'll have to come back with a new motion. He will never be right again. MAYbe a closer but never an every 5th day srarter

EXACTLY.
His days as a starter are over.

If Hendry traded for Peavy and then gave him an extension, there'd be 4 threads about it right now.

But he didn't so this was a stupid post.
Go feel shame.

I'd agree if the injury was a torn labrum (aka death to pitchers) but he had a detached muscle behind the shoulder. It's a very rare injury but IF it stays attached and he's able to strengthen the shoulder I'd think he'd be able to return to his old style of pitching. The article I read a week ago said he was 2 months ahead of schedule and will begin soft tossing in a couple weeks.

I think I'm gonna make a "shoutout" for Hendry for not doing this.

Great idea! Thanks Darko!

Who knows.
Alls I can say is I'd never, ever count on Peavy. You just ... cannot do it.
