Machado signs with Padres 10/300
I disagree it would be better than a world series for him. However, keeping salaries from running away and having only the "rich" teams win all the time is a goal of his.

Why would the Sox care of the Phillies got a bargain on Harper as long as the Sox get Machado. It makes no sense that one team would care what kind of deal another teams gets on a player.

This is what their beat writer said on the radio.

No kidding. The agent would say that if you can afford both then just give my player 350 million.

Fulmer: An awesome deep dive on his driveline winter
Thomas of 02-05 was one dimensional because he couldn't put any weight on his front foot. Thomas was one of the first "stats" guys. He wouldn't have given up his average just to hit more HR. He wanted to be an all around hitter. He was very about which balls he would hit for HR, which ones to drive the other way and which ones to let go by because they weren't in his zone. It would be interesting to see how many HR he hit if he sold out everything for power as today's hitters do.

Sounds like they are making him into a bullpen pitcher. Go back to a h9gh effort delivery and pitch to maximum effort.

Sox hitters already ready for camp // Burger is hitting off tee
They must be treating it very conservatively then. I don't blame them with the second injury. Edit: I now see an article after surgery in May that they were predicting 12 months. Again very conservative but I don't blame them in this situation.

It's hard to tell. Typical rehab would be 4-5 months. However with it being the second one I don't know if they used an augmentation device or not. Probably not with his age. If they are letting him hit, he is probably a month away from games.

There are pretty the same person. Parkins is a younger McNeil. Blowhard a$$holes. Although Parkins is more confrontations and admits he enjoys it.

I will not be following this on page 666 to not jinx anything. So he will sign during that time.

Over training is the primary cause of most injuries. Like in the article eccentric training is the most important activity with any tendonopathy. It has to isolated though. No concentric activity. For example for the Achilles raise up on your right heel set your left foot down and lower only on the left. This way the left had only the lowering eccentric activity. As the article said it helps to properly align the collagen and increase the metabolic functions. But that's as much as we know.

This is so wrong. The Sox even with one of them will not make the World Series.

Here is a good one that specifically discusses the Achilles as well. It's a few years old and there is newer research that shows it as well. You can't increase it a large amount but enough to increase the overall tensile strength. ijspt-10-748.pdf

Weight has very little bearing on an Achilles tendon injury. Flexibility does. Doing heavy lifting at 80% 1 rep max is crucial to thicken and strengthen tendons. He should be doing that for ankle work.

Still not sure about this. Where would they add? CF, 1 SP? They aren't going to replace TA, Moncada, Jimenez, Abreu, Catcher, Rodon, Lopez, Giolito.

It accounts for total overall student debt, both undergrad and doctoral. The idea is to keep the cost of the DPT program in check so that universities don't abuse the "cash cow." The demand for the program is high, we typically get 400 applicants for our 36 places. So universities keep raising the cost because the student will borrow and pay. The issue is that it's catching up to our field. You are guaranteed a job but the pay isn't worth some of the debt they incur. This is a new idea and we'll see how it works. This isn't much of an issue for us, it's about 75,000 for the 3 years but the students at northwestern will pay 125,000 for the same thing.

No offense but this is part of the issue. Most people don't get to pick their perfect job right away. You take what you can get, work your way up, get experience ,then you get your dream job. Some people luck into their dream job right away but most have to work jobs they don't like until they get the one they do. You do what you have to to make the living you want.
