Contreras Lands on Disabled List

When the story broke last night that Jose Contreras may have to go on the 15-day disabled list, it came as a surprise. If Contreras was hurting, he hid it well. But with a sore hip and back, the White Sox are taking no chances with the best pitcher in baseball. Contreras will rest his back and be ready for the series against the Cubs beginning May 19th.

I'm not worried. With our pitching depth, the Sox should continue to play well and win ball games. As I watch the Sox battle the Angels tonight, I can't help but feel that regardless how well they have played so far this season, this team has not even begun to hit its stride. There are still a few pitching issues that the team needs to work out, especially in the bullpen. And there are some concerns about Brian Anderson's offensive woes. But these are not bad problems to have.

If the Sox feel any pressure after winning the World Series last year, they are not showing it. They seem relaxed and loose, both on and off the field. It's hard to imagine them losing their edge this season.
