Doesn't seem like his game would translate well to the AL East and OPACY.

Fantastic fit for Norfolk though.

I think the ask is.  Better than Wilson? Better than Wright?

I think the question is.  Better than whomever he replaces on the 40 man.

Dumb parents. 

That's awfully young to have TJ Surgery seems to me.

"shown command of himself" ?

I'm not sure what this really means. Is this a new MLB phrase?

They have to dump Drake, so I'm guessing he's the Replacement.

Take a look at our friend Jung Ho Kang in Pittsburgh.

I see where you're going!

I figured it was DD trying to diffuse the situation, it just seemed odd. Thanks

I am starting to think Tavarez may not make this team, but who knows. If his defense was better he would.

Im not sure either of the two rule 5 guys last this year.  I guess better chance for Santander since he might be DL'd to start to season gives time for Gentry etc to flop and be released.

Probably.  Very small chance it was really bad luck.

It's a bit surprising that they will even do the operation on someone whose arm isn't fully developed.

There's no real basis to have an opinion here, unless you are a doctor specializing in this and have seen the medical files.

Seriously?

You want to lawyer me on this?

What part exactly, the part where I replied to what Art said, a post which evidently didn't set off your lawyer senses or the medical part?

I'm pretty sure that saying that I find something surprising doesn't constitute expressing a medical opinion back by higher education and advanced training.

I also do know enough about the procedure to know that addition risk may be present if the bones they are drilling into are not fully developed.
