May 9, 20187 yr Honestly, I'm just going to completely put him out of my mind and if he happens to come back and contribute anything, then I'll consider it a bonus.

It appears nothing could've been done to prevent this, much like the first one, just something that happens. "Doctors are very optimistic that this repair, the second repair, will take, especially with the graft tissue attachment. It's a step that's made to help solidify the strength of the tendon and the repair." "Lousy setback for a great kid who's been working hard," Hahn said. "But as was the case with the first repair, the expectation is there's to be no long-term effect on his baseball career. "We expect him to have no restrictions in the future. Nothing the kid did wrong, no issue with anything along the path of his rehabilitation. Unfortunately this apparently happens in a relatively small percentage of Achilles repairs. Despite his hard work, Jake suffered this reinjury." We'll see I guess. It sounds like they did use an external graft to augment the current tissue. The current tissue must have been hambuger (pun intended). Hit sounds as if its an autograft from his own body. Hopefully it all heals well.

I like his bat but obviously Sox will have to move on. I'd expect a Moose signing and if Burger ever makes it back he'll be traded. Best luck JB.

He probably won't play his age 23 season. He'll need age 24 season in AA or AAA. He'll be a MLB rookie at 25 if all goes well and he stays in good shape thru all this, etc. Sign Moose and go from there.

Our first pick re-injures himself and you think Moose is going to get signed? Obviously the Sox will have to move on???? what???

He will not be at spring training next year unless he's just there to watch and rehab.

Obviously the Sox will have to move on???? what??? Because of his age, he's no longer a prime prospect is what I said in my post. Yes, Moose is a viable FA option this offseason. Why wouldn't he be?

I'd already done that, especially with all the good offensive performances the Sox are getting in MiLB right now.
May 10, 20187 yr There’s not one GM that would say something like the first statement you mentioned. Imagine what that could do to an athelete’s mental state after hearing the GM of his team say that.

May 10, 20187 yr We don't NEED anything. He would just take at-bats and playing time away from players we need to develop and cost us money which shouldn't be spent this year.
