Sorry for assuming you knew something.

I'll never understand the logic of taking a slow CO second overall.

I want to go look and found something called Little Bi Peep. So that's something. Good thing I have prime for the shipping and not the movies.

You know he's not. He's third slowest.

Considering they are in the 50% bracket of the luxury tax it's actually even more.

From Reddit: They have no cause for complaint.

I thought it was something like under 12 full scholarships that were divided among the team. I don't know but I wouldn't think a 10th round arm would get a full share at a good program. But that's speculation on my part and if you have actual data than I'm convinced.

A couple of things. Is Baseball giving out a lot full rides? I think most baseball scholarships are partial. Players can negotiate money for college if they sign out of HS and it doesn't come out of the team's pool money.

It sure is. But we don't have and will never get more information so it's still the best way to go. We know a lot of guys don't try rehabbing their tears. We know that occasionally manages to avoid or substantially delay surgery. If they say there is a chance to avoid it, I don't blame the player for trying to avoid it.

You can get a Buscone and turn pro at 16. Or go to college and get abused.

If they did and he wanted to do the rehab I don't have a problem with it. I've had two surgeries in the last five years and I delayed both of them as long as was feasible and I'll probably do the same the next time something comes up. I'm a firm believer that the stress of surgery and recovery takes something out of the body that, at least my age, doesn't come back.

What if it is? It is not as if everyone recovers fully from TJ surgery. You shouldn't operate on someone if the professionals think it isn't needed.

Maybe they could add another premium guy like Maikol Hernandez?

Do you operate on someone when the professionals say it isn't needed? It kills me when fans go "Just give him the surgery now." Surgery should be a last resort, not a first response. Some guys avoid surgery after rehabbing partial tears.

If it's the perception than it's the perception that guides the reality.

I doubt they have anything that would stand up to any sort of peer review process. I do recommend The Arm, I should probably re-read it my next day off.

Eh. Means took his time coming back and slow rolled his way into the season and he still went down again.

That won't happen to my kid.

I was just giving an example of one that was faster. There is a pretty fair degree of variance. I haven't read The Arm recently but it had some good info in it.

Josh Johnson was back in 11 months. For non-pitchers Bryce Harper was hardly out at all.

Sure it is, you get a new batch of 9 year olds every year.

Unsurprising.

Probably. But it's similar stuff to what other teams are doing. Lot's of TJ surgeries recently.

Did you check for hidden text?

Was hoping it was going to be the brace procedure.
