The White Sox have decided to move Chris Sale into the closer's role. One of the worst decisions I've ever seen a manager make on his personnel. Kenny Williams wanted a "yes man" and he got a moron. So disappointed in the Sox today.

good move. his mechanics can't hold up as a starter. you can't throw sidearm and expect to pitch over 180 innings. he was already feeling elbow pain. they will get more value out of him this way.Comment -
He was feeling elbow discomfort Roadie.Comment -
So now ramp it up and throw 98-99 every 3 days? Makes sense...Comment -
There's no other option and there's precedence with Smoltz, etc., to go the bullpen, ride out some arm issues and return as a starter. What else can they do?Originally posted by RoadDogComment -
he will always have arm issues because of his pitching motion. go watch a video. it is crazy that he doesn't destroy his elbow after one throw the way he whips it around at that arm slot.Comment -
not to mention their alternative, thornton has 21 /47 saves/opps......thats just rediculous. good move by cws. they need a closer like sale.Comment -
What about Jesse Crain, who is just awesome. One of the main reasons that the Twins suck so much, is letting him go.Comment -
Better than DL-ing him for tired arm or risking injury due to over work...just my 2 centsComment -
All of a sudden he's "hurt" when they need a closer. The situation is bs.Comment -
Throwing 15-20 pitches vs. 100?Originally posted by RoadDogComment
