May 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 21, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) Francisco will be DFA tomorrow, per Dan Hayes. Carroll to the pen. That's reassuring, NOT. His family's really holding out hope for that MLB pension money, though. It's a cool side note, at least.
May 22, 201411 yr Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN 2h Chris Sale never felt pushed by #WhiteSox to hurry rehab, feels so confident he's at 100 percent he's skipping. http://bit.ly/RWWw1c

May 23, 201411 yr At this point the fact that sales elbow hasn't blown up with that motion perhaps is evidence that he has top percentile ligament strength and that if he does have problems it won't be the elbow, maybe shoulder. I hope that's the case.

I hope that's the case. I hope that's the case, but it's nothing but wishful thinking. Some guys blow out their elbows when they are 16 some guys blow them out in their 30s with over 2000 IP in the major leagues. To declare now he won't have elbow problems, while hopefully true, makes zero sense medically.

I hope that's the case. And a shoulder injury is the last thing you want to see with any pitcher. See Webb, Santana, Danks, etc.
May 23, 201411 yr JJ Stankevitz @JJStankevitz 7m Chris Sale says everything feels normal after his start yesterday, though he's usually more sore 2 days date a start. #WhiteSox

See Webb, Santana, Danks, etc. Oh for sure, but Sale's motion puts a tremendous amount of strain on his elbow, more than the shoulder, if somehow he manages not to injure the elbow maybe it means he's just stronger built ligament wise then your average MLB pitcher. Now that won't help with a shoulder injury, but it's one less thing to worry about. This is just a hairbrained theory anyways. TINSNAAPP and all that applies.
