Update

I have not posted in awhile. The White Sox have split 4 with Minny and 2 with Tampa Bay. They go for the series victory tomorrow in Saint Pete.

Thornton or Logan to AAA?- Several White Sox message boards have been debating the future of these two. On WCIU's pregame telecast for tonight's game, Darren Jackson asked White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper about Logan's debacle last evening. Cooper said that they have talked to Logan about last night's game, and the best thing to do is to put him back out there. It sounds like Boone will be getting another chance. I am not sure that this is a bad idea since it will give the Sox a chance to find out how well Logan can bounce back from adversity. Mental make-up is paramount for a big leage pitcher.

As for Thornton, I really do not understand why people are so quick to run him off. He is throwing with high velocity and has been able to get his slider over the plate in most of his outings. It is just a couple of bad appearances that are skewing his earned run average. They should keep Thornton until he gives them a real reason to dump him. He has pitched poorly enough to justify a demotion as of yet. Numbers do not always tell the whole story, and it is important to look at how well a guy is actually throwing the ball, too.
