  1. If this article was written towards the end of July, Mathews would be on the blame side of the ledger. How quickly people forget.
  2. The whole season seems to be weeks of bad, weeks of good, always on the cusp of the playoff. When they get to the edge of being in the playoffs, they spin down Garry Gaetti’s line holds true.
  3. The cost of TJ runs in the 70-120 k range the cost of arthroscopic shoulder surgery was found to be in the 40k range. The cost of the physical rehab was not listed specifically for ball players but runs about $150/hr. When I had a shoulder injury it was about 10 sessions, progressing to do it on your own. The rehab in the minor leagues would be accommodations similar to what they have for road games and meal money. Now that portion is not insignificant, but it is likely of the 1.9 million average per player, 1.7 is salary.
  4. From the National Institute of Health Abstract Background: The economic loss following ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (UCLR) in Major League Baseball (MLB) pitchers has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study is to quantify the financial impact of UCLR on MLB teams. We hypothesize that MLB teams incur significant losses annually as a result of salaries paid to injured players following reconstruction. Methods: Public records were accessed to identify MLB pitchers from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2014, who had undergone UCLR. Contract terms and time away from competition were used to approximate economic loss. Successful return was considered when a pitcher returned to play in at least 1 Minor League Baseball (MiLB) or MLB game. Results: One hundred ninety-four MLB pitchers underwent UCLR from 2004 to 2014, missing on average 180.2 days of the MLB regular season. Cost of recovery (COR) amounted to $395 million, averaging $1.9 million per player. Starting pitchers accounted for the largest total COR at $239.6 million, whereas closers had the largest economic loss per player ($3.9 million/player). Only 77% of pitchers returned to MLB play. Conclusion: UCLR has a substantial economic impact on MLB teams.
  5. Content creation versus actually saying something. What is Ross doing differently at the plate and how did he get to that point
  6. Yup that is a win. The comments were about them maintaining their winning ways was by trading for hauls of prospects as stars neared free agency
  7. Jeffers is a free agent He has not been a full time catcher in his career. He is not likely to get a break open the vault contract. It is quite possible he will be resigned to a contract.
  8. On a site that has complained about his injuries non stop for years and demands he should be traded the unpopular modifier is a pretty absurd comment . Considering Rodriguez’s injury history, as well as Buxton’s the article does need to go into who are the backups to the backups. Buxton is untradeable because of his contract and past statements. Rodrigues would be a sell low candidate. They will be part of the team unless Rodriguez turns into Outman. The backups are equally important in any discussion
  9. Hot streak, cold streak That has been the MO of the half dozen hovering around .500 teams in the AL All of the teams have briefly played well enough to lead the AL West or hold the last wild card spot for a brief while. Will the Twins get another hot streak or collapse. In this season who knows.
  10. Your point ignores development at the major league level. When he went out and got injured in July he was at a WRC+ of 148, that is top 10 in baseball. Sorry that isn’t good enough for you to consider him a talented player
