Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

Why Jeff Marquez?

All indications are that Jeffrey Marquez is being called up to replace the injured Jake Peavy on the roster.  To answer the question, it's not entirely clear why.  Barring a postponed game (possible considering the weather for tonight) or the White Sox deciding to go with Freddy Garcia on short rest (unlikely), they're going to need a starter on Sunday.  Dan Hudson, who has pitched very well, albeit inefficiently, would be on five days rest and was scheduled to pitch that day anyway in the Futures Game.  Carlos Torres, who has pitched pretty well, would be on regular rest.

It's possible - maybe even likely - that Marquez is here only until Sunday to provide an interim long relief option while Tony Pena recuperates.  Marquez was scheduled to start today for Charlotte and thus is fully rested; Torres pitched last night and wouldn't be able to pitch for the next few days; similar story for Hudson.  Therefore, it's Marquez by default and then he'll be replaced by Hudson.

Marquez hasn't been particularly impressive in AAA.  He's thrown 94 innings, giving up 99 hits, walking 31 and striking out 54.  That's fine for a mop up man - let's just hope that's all he's supposed to be.  A contending team in a tight race needs to send out its best possible players.  And that's Hudson on Sunday. [edit: Hudson is apparently at least coming up for Sunday.]

I’ll be in Chicago tomorrow but the news was there today. Jake Peavy came out of Tuesday’s game with what the Sox say was a lat strain. An MRI was scheduled for Wednesday and while official word hasn’t come out, sources tell me that the diagnosis was confirmed. A lat strain is a "new" injury that’s suddenly being seen more in baseball. A couple years back, Ben Sheets had the issue (and so much else …) but it was a breakdown of the kinetic chain there. It’s likely the same thing in two pitchers dealing with the problem now: Josh Beckett and Brad Penny. The outcome for Peavy is likely more along the lines of Penny than Beckett, though it’s far too early to tell.

With Peavy’s ankle injury and a Don Cooper-led alteration of his mechanics, it’s likely a kinetic chain breakdown here. Penny? Same thing, as Dave Duncan worked with the latest in his Rumplestiltskinizing of old pitchers. Look for a month out as the most likely scenario.

I like.

Sorry Ozzie I just dont buy Lee’s numbers in that system. Plus this is probably the best last chance at Lebron.

I don't think they have a shot whatsoever, but whatever. If they sign Boozer to the max there's no point in believing in the front office.

John Paxson is a proven joke, but I figured Gar Forman was a little smarter. And once again, Reinsdorf comes out richer.

I have no problems with you railing on Pax.

but we have to disagree on this.

What exactly were they supposed to do here?

Seems like Boozer was the guy most of us thought he would get two months ago, now people have sand in their pants b/c they saw DWade talk to the Bulls a couple times.

Guy doesn't deserve max, but they signed him for less. I'm satisfied.

Sign a M2GWCDAS and everything is ok.
