VIDEO: How worried should we be about Pablo Lopez’s Shoulder?

[Matthew Lenz]

It’s time to move past the trade and focus on Pablo Lopez as a Minnesota Twin exclusive of your feelings about Luis Arraez. With three shoulder injuries in five years, how much should we worry about his durability and stamina moving forward?

Sure - am concerned about every player’s health that has been on IL previously with more than a minor ailment.

Your examples of other guys shoulder problems & recovery rates were informative but nothing gives the FO nor the fans a warm feeling. Lopez’ 2022 is encouraging but not any kind of guarantee.

P. López - yes        Maeda - fixed?

T. Mahle - yes        Gray - routinely tender

Ober - yes              Larnach - routinely out

Polanco - yes         Winder - in & out

Buxton - YES

Kirilof - YES

Am probably missing an obvious one or two guys? These guys are key pieces to our success, so, fingers crossed.

Health killed us last year & there’s 38% of our roster listed here that we should have legitimate questions about……..how many of these 10 start the season healthy?….,,how many get through June unscathed??

[Reptevia]

Given the history of this FO, yes. Yes indeed.
