The fact is though that this condition is not his fault. It's not his fault true. He can get over any criticism by counting all the money he's making for basically contributing nothing. They should at least start training him to be a scout or something. Put him to work as he's never gonna contribute on the field more than 10 games at a time then eight weeks off, then 10 days at a time then 12 weeks off.

These excuses are so damn weak. Edited May 25, 20241 yr by WhiteSox2023

Conditioning following hamstring injury or surgery does not appreciably reduce the likelihood of re-injury, at least according to the link I posted, which I thought was well researched and worthwhile reading for anyone interested in the topic.

You really think they knew. I have never seen a guy get this injured. It's usually right after he starts to hit well too. I honestly feel for the guy he must have done something terrible in his past life where he can't even play DH without suffering some sort of injury. It's funny because it reminds me that Bartolo Colon and David Wells spent pretty much the entire of their career healthy looking nothing like an actual athlete.
May 26, 20241 yr After declining both options it will come out to $46 million for somewhere around 5.5 career bWAR when it’s all said and done. So incredibly disappointing, but not as disappointing as the lack of accountability in this organization.
