Come on man lol, you know what the metaphor meant.  I am fully aware they aren’t my kids

I wonder if the Sox are waiting for Teel to get back to AZ and get looked at by our own docs before announcing anything

This makes a lot of sense.  Hard to release an evaluation of someone who isn't there.

Agreed. You need to see someone I person to make an informed decision. Imaging or reports from others dont tell you the entire story.

My gf is from Fiji and they said I could play. If you pitch for the Dogies that's like an extra moon every season.  I would ask for more pesos. 

Probably a 2-3 week setback based on how it looked and his reaction. Not the worst thing in the world now we can get Edgar more ABs early.

When you are paying a game in spring at 100% versus the 80/90 percent happening in ST games, I would bet money that makes a difference.  Can you say for sure it wouldn't have happened in Sox camp?  No.  But also, intensity does matter for those things.

I don't think Teel is able to go less than 100% effort tbh

He’s not?  I thought you named him after you.

That sucks 

Annoying but could be worse. Still 2 weeks until Opening Day so hopefully he only misses 15-20 regular season games.

Oof, grade 2 sucks. Damnit. Well cya in May. 

And this is why you wait to do anything with Lee when he has zero trade value.

This does really stink - in terms of the injury.  

Sounds a little speculative but a reasonable expectation either way

Yeah, if its not just minor, 4-6 weeks is the standard healing time. Good guesstimate until they see him in person.

Could've been worse. And luckily for the White Sox catcher is the one strength you have to help offset it. Quero is our guy for the first month of the season back there at least. 

Of course it’s the Sox 

Sox losing their best player to injury? Water is wet

He can DH first to expedite return and take time to ensure he is healed before he catches, right

This is why Getz was wise to keep Lee and add any good catcher talent he saw available (Romo).

knock on wood we are quite healthy as a group, if this is the worst spring training setback, we good.

I confess I'm not fond of the WBC just for the reason of injury potential as well as guys having to play hard (in theory) for something totally meaningless but over and above that what bothers me are these rosters.

You've got guys who weren't born in a particular country playing for it because their grandmother on their step-mothers side had a distant cousin who lived in said country for a year or two. (I know that doesn't make sense but just trying to make a point).

If you are going to have this exhibition series at least make the rule to play for a nation you have to be born there and be a citizen of it. Stop stretching things to try to field a roster. If you don't have enough legit players from your country you don't play, aren't invited.

But how is it “totally meaningless?” It’s not the MLB, it’s a different baseball entity. Just because you’ve decided YOU only care about the MLB season doesn’t mean the rest of the baseball world needs to. The overwhelming majority of all professional players don’t ever get to the World Series, meaning that this is likely the most significant championship they’ll ever get to play for. There are thousands of fans around the world, some from countries whose cultures hold baseball in higher esteem than the United States does, who care much more about this tournament than anything that happens in the MLB. 

I couldn’t possibly care less about the NFL, and every year I feel the media shift away from baseball pennant races toward NFL camp coverage, and I hate it. That doesn’t make that coverage “totally meaningless.” It’s just not for me.
