Profar needs another surgery

I almost feel bad for him. Rumors that he might miss the whole season again.

I don't recall anyone feeling bad for us that we had no Machado. Twice.

I didn't say I felt bad for the Rangers.

Pretty harsh, weamsie. First of all, as I've pointed out before, Machado's 2013 injury only cost him one week of that season. All in all, his two surgeries cost him about half a season combined. Profar has already missed a full season, and now it may be two. That's much worse. And I'm sure lots of people who aren't Oriole fans felt sorry for Manny.

A lot of people who aren't Oriole fans felt like it was karma for throwing the bat.

I suppose. I really don't wish an injury on any player, and usually I feel bad for them personally. But if a Yankee or Red Sox player goes down, I certainly don't feel bad for their teams, and that generally holds true for all the teams at the high end of the payroll curve.

True. True.

I bet some Orioles fans did as well.

Not me. I'm a multiverse apologist. We meet only when convenient for everyone's busy schedules. Or not.

I watched Profar a few times in Spokane. I hate to see someone with that much talent be sidelined, not just on a personal level, but because it is also bad for the game to lose potential superstars.

In 2012 Profar was the Rangers #1 prospect and ranked as #12 overall by B.A.

Who was it that said "1,000 different things can happen to young prospects and 999 of those things are bad"?

Girardi was a masterful manager in 2012, leading a Yankees team that had to deal with the limes of Steve Pearce starting a handful of games.

Schoop could end up having the best career of the guys on that WBC team: schoop, Bogaerts, profar.

I thought Profar was the #1 prospect in baseball at one point. At least in the top 3. Maybe I'm misremembering.

Edit: Baseball America had him #1 in 2013

I know he was #1 prospect in baseball in at least 1 publication.

Yep. I guess you got the citation here, but he definitely was #1, at least in BA and I'm positive he was a consensus top guy across all of the major publications.
