Shohei Otani

Damaged goods.  And a HIPAA violation.

Otani would not even pass our physical.  He got bad ankle and may need tommy john in future.

It's funny and annoying to see all the butthurt Yankee fans celebrating and calling him names now, when they were pissed and calling him names for shrugging them off.

That promising talent is getting sidetracked by injuries...hopefully not derailed.

He might need TJ surgery this year.

Yea,  it is a shame.  I was actually looking forward to him having a go at the pitching/position playing role (even if as only a DH).   Would have been a great thing for MLB baseball, IMO.  Hopefully he can recover and return to form

That’s very speculative.   First degree sprain.

Yea, after reading further, I realized I only focused on "UCL" and see that this may not be as bad as it could be.   Of course it would help if you don't get misleading flash (dramatic)  news reports on your phone all the time!....grrrrr   Regardless, I still do hope he makes it and is able to preform to his abilities on both sides of the field.
