daggins Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 28, 2017 -> 10:05 PM) Cool. So what's the most likely diagnosis. What's the potential recovery time and what would you see being potential implications to his overall game? Have at it. Medically speaking, he borked his ankle good, he's gonna be out a lot, and is probably gonna cuss up a storm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) I guess my main question would be, would it be worse if the ankle was broken, or if he tore a ligament or something? Obv the way that thing was moving, something very bad happened, but is it possible he just severely sprained it? edit - I guess its also possible that all that stuff happened at the same time. Poor Adam. Edited April 29, 2017 by daggins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Jesus you can literally see the ankle/foot flop after he goes to the ground. That's tough for Eaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 You guys are missing the more important result of this.... my fantasy team continues to be plagued with injury. But for real, I've been rooting for Eaton and Sale. Hope he's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxforlife05 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 So Eaton got Tilson'd? Wouldn't be surprised if Sale went down too those pitch counts are adding up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 stinks for him. Doesn't look good. Agree with whoever said that play was his time bomb. He never ran through and always hit the bag hard. Worth noting that while he was having a great offensive year, he was -0.5 WAR defensively in center so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The worst case is Jared Mitchell. The best case is he loses a step, but his game has never been predicated on stolen bases. That said, some hesitation in the outfield and worry in the back of his head about another injury are going to be hard for him to get over. It's just as much psychological as physical.
