 Not sure why he would think it won't be an issue during the regular season but okay.... I don’t believe shit from the team regarding injuries. For a guy who gets hurt so often, I’m surprised he didn’t have offseason surgery. |

I agree about the offseason injury. But I don't get mad at what the team releases about injuries. |

Cough Lance cough. No, because there's a number of reasons why they SHOULD do it: 1. Why let your opponents know anything about the health of your team? Knowledge is power. 2. If teams know you're desperate for certain positions/players, it weakens your position in trades. 3. You have to be careful with what medical information is released due to privacy laws/rules, and/or being respectful to the players. |

Besides, we're losing a LF/DH. If anything this would mean we should get another OFer. (Profar, for example.) Brantley can still DH. |

He is not that much of a hitter. I rather bring back Yuli, someone that's loved by his teammates. I know he's a better hitter. Hensley, Diaz or Meyers could be backup LF.. |

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t think it affects things that much. The usual players are desperate every trade deadline and still get deals done. |

He is not that much of a hitter. I rather bring back Yuli, someone that's loved by his teammates. I know he's a better hitter. Hensley, Diaz or Meyers could be backup LF.. Well he had a really solid all-around year last year playing as a LF-only: 3.1 WAR 15 HR 58 RBI 82 Runs 36 Doubles 5/6 SB 111 OPS+ Certainly not an all-star, but that's a very solid season. He has a little pop, runs pretty well, and he's had a respectable OBP around .335 over the last few years. The thing I like about him is that he has some other utility as well AND he's been very healthy since 2017. He's not a super strong IFer, but he could play some infield positions in a pinch which adds to our overall depth. Our LF as it stands now is Yordan and Brantley, both of which have health concerns. Bringing Profar on solidifies that position and further increases our flexibility in general. He's like a Chas that can play some infield if needed. All that being said, I wouldn't pay him more than $5 million. |

A big question we seem to collectively have is "Is Lance McCullers overpaid". The answer is a firm maybe. Lance and Syndergaard have very very similar stats over the course of their careers. 102.6 average innings per year versus 106.5, era 3.48 versus 3.42, age 29 versus 30, average contract for the last 2 years 17 million for both of them. The big difference is that Syndergaard is getting his one year at a time and Lance has three more years guaranteed. Will his contract really be an overpay, maybe, guess we will have to wait and find out.

It may not affect things a ton, but why let it affect things at all if we don't have to? If they prepare the roster to account for Lance and Yordan’s constant injuries, then it doesn’t really matter much. All that being said, it is still annoying. |

Brantley's taking reps at first cause someone needs to spell Abreu when he takes a day off. They'll probably bring up Pedro if Yordan has extensive IL time

Which surgery did he need, doctor CorchJr? One for his hand he has pain with every other week. So you don't know what the problem is or how to treat it, but surgery is the answer. Even though the finest orthopedists and hand specialists on the planet have probably examined him. All the while understanding that if it does need surgery that Alvarez has to agree to it since, you know, it's his be body and all... |

So, you think teams are dumb enough to assume that Lance isn’t brittle? No, but they don't need to know if a guy might be out 7 months for a broken wang. So is it his wing or his Wang that's the issue? Totally different areas of specialization. |

I’m just surprised that such a lingering injury didn’t require more medical treatment than just rest. |

I'm way too dumb to ever be a doctor, but wouldn't reoccurring pain be caused by something though? Pinched nerve? Arthritis? I know some thing's heal with enough time, but since we use our hands constantly I would think something would be fixable. |
