Why Jake Peavy Coming Back in Mid-April is Bad

Some White Sox fans are pumped that Jake Peavy is ahead of schedule on his rehab. Not this one. I’m scared shitless. Peavy is the first pitcher to ever try to return from totally separating his shoulder muscle from the bone. He’s also notorious for trying to rush back from injury as quickly as possible, which you have to respect and appreciate. The offense is strong enough this season to be able to carry the pitching staff for a month or two for Peavy to really rehab and make sure he’s at full strength. Not to mention they have four guys (Beuhrle, Floyd, Danks, and Jackson) who I would take over most guys front four. But Peavy is the ace. That’s why they traded for him to be the big time guy and the best pitcher on a borderline great staff. So why rush back for mid-April? You win World Series in October. You ruin them in April and May. Relax bro Beuhrle’s been around the block a time or two. Let him be the ace til June then BAM! the A.L Central won’t know what hit they’re facing two aces and two number two’s in a four game set. Please just pull a Clemens, go kill a couple of bucks and we’ll see you in June.
