ChiliIrishHammock24 819 Posted February 26, 2018 QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 26, 2018 -> 02:10 PM) Superb defense? I don't know about superb, but I think his defense metrics in college were actually well above average despite how goofy he looks doing it. Maybe he can be a Jhonny Peralta type bad body, good defender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donaldo 21 Posted June 21, 2019 Any updates on Jake? At one time we were told June 1, then we heard he suffered a heel injury which set him back a week or so. It's June 20, and still nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So yeah, he should be back like any day now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Glass. ummmm… he had one major injury that reoccurred and sounds like has nothing to do with being injury prone. And a bruised heel... That doesn't sound like being made of glass. The 1st is really unlucky and the 2nd is extremely minor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That doesn't sound like being made of glass. The 1st is really unlucky and the 2nd is extremely minor. Two major injuries and now a minor one that's caused him to miss at least 18 months of developmental time. At this point even small injuries are making an impact. Every day he's not on the field means he's getting further and further behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would say a bruised heel isn't even injured... Yes, it is a hinderance in his development and will cause him to take longer to finally reach the majors (hopefully it still happens) I just don't think that is a label that really fits... yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far the results are closer to my comment than yours but for the sake of the kid and more importantly the organization I hope you turn out to be right. With draft busts like Fulmer, Burdi and Hansen they absolutely don't need another one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
