Colas gets a nod from Baseball America as the #3 hottest prospect in ST this week (after Josh Jung and Casey Schmitt):

 

As of right now on some betting sites he's the eighth favorite for ROY. The top 2 are clear favorites but after that it's tightly bunched It will change based on injuries and performance.

I threw some money on it at +4000. After seeing him more in ST, kinda wish I threw down a little more...

I have a stupid question on something like this. Obviously we'll never know...but in something like this, did Diaz have a weak patellar tendon that was bound to go out at some point, or was this a total freak thing, his patellar would have held up this season no problem, this was just a freak thing?

I tore both of mine about 6 years ago at the same time. Opinions varied, including among my surgeons, but usually it's thought that micro tears in the tendon from tendonitus are a contributing cause. I had "jumper's knee" in both my tendons for basically my entire life and I played three sports in HS, college in baseball and then an absolute shitload of tennis and basketball in my 20s before they ripped in my early 30s playing tennis coming to a jump stop at the net.

You put the wrong force on them and they will snap, especially if weakened. He has a long rehab ahead of him. I was lucky enough to get a great surgeon and I really took command of my own rehab but I had to give up basketball for life. Still play tennis pretty well.

The Yankee kid that made his debut tore his on the electrical box at the Cell. And there have been a couple full tears in the NFL as well. Guys have a really hard time coming back from it. It's worse than an ACL.

Hard to believe that guy is a pro

Gio looking good in the B game. His final line, per Fegan: 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 K, HBP

looked like he was working on keeping his weight back, but yea, not much bat speed.

You're probably good. Really hard to win ROY.

Looked like soft toss so probably just working on going the other way without the need for getting the bat around so fast. I'm sure it s much quicker against the high speed machines. He did pretty good in the DSL last year but he was older than most of them.

We are somehow only halfway through March.  At least the WBC is giving us evening baseball...

I thought that’s only for when he’s struggling

That looks like one of the worst swings I've ever seen unless it's intentional. 

 

Nvm I see it's likely he was working on something

Live at Glendale enjoying a cold beer and Nancy Faust on the organ....I'll try to bring home a Cactus win against the Cubbies.

Ooof. Hopefully nothing too serious.

Cancel Spring Training ?…don’t wish injuries on anyone and hopefully he is okay but if one team can overcome/absorb injuries it’s Steve Cohen and the Mets so I don’t feel too bad

Are you able to at least shoot around and just not play actual games?
