Machado injury (Sprained Knee Ligament- 15 Day DL)

[Big O]

I wish we had Prado or Headley. Or Asdrubal any chance or getting someone of that caliber in August? Don't need a stud, just a good defender who can hold their own with the stick.

Well the MFY have overcome it all year long. Suck it up and find a way to overcome.

Huh? The MFY are 6 games out of the AL East lead and looking up at 3 teams in the wildcard standings.

No long term deal for Machado until he fixes his gait and shows his knees aren't degenerative. Ride the arbitration train.

I wonder if Zobrist could make it through waivers. Play him at second move schoop and Flahery to third.

Crap, crap and crap. Horrible news.

What is wrong with you?

What is wrong with you?

Logical thinking vs emotional thinking.

What is wrong with you?

He's absolutely right. Theres no reason to give an injury plagued player a long term contract.

[PA724_Oriole]

Sucks for manny and the Os. Time for others to step up.

[Aristotelian]

He's absolutely right. Theres no reason to give an injury plagued player a long term contract.

But why is that your first reaction on a thread about an injured player? If your mom died I would feel sorry for you, not think about who is going to replace her.

[SteveO]

Just sucks beyond belief. He had it rolling, we can hope maybe its a sprain but it sure looked pretty nasty

[Jagwar]

He's absolutely right. Theres no reason to give an injury plagued player a long term contract.

And this thread, with this timing, is the perfect moment to point it out. :rolleyestf:

I am hoping this plays out like the Davis injury last year in Anaheim. Everyone was sure he was going to miss a ton of time.

[FanSince88]

The AL East sure is keeping the physical therapists of the world busy (and rich) this year. I don't think I've ever seen a division in any sport so racked with injury.

The AL East is less of a "race" this year and more a game of basic survival. Whoever has the least injury impact wins.

I don't like calmunderfire's first reaction either, but this is an absolutely terrible comparison.
