Somehow it always comes down on us having to count on Avi, which isn't cool

He has a hip impingement. I don't even know what that is, but it must be really severe for him to miss the whole season.

That is a nasty one. If he needs surgery is is out for the year.

 

It's when the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis (hip socket) bang together and can tear the labrum of the hip. It can be cause by either the ball of the femur being too big and mishapen or the socket being too shallow. In this case they need to re-shpe the bone. It can also be just like a shoulder labral tear where the bones just twisted incorrectly and the labrum got caught in between. In this case the need to go in and remove the torn part.

 

Either way it's a 2-3 month minimum rehab. Not fun injury to rehab, especially if either bone needs to be altered.

Hahn says that Austin Jackson stepped on a base awkwardly last night. Swelled up. MRI revealed meniscus tear.

In other White Sox news, Daniel Webb will have Tommy John surgery today. Jake Petricka having hip surgery. Both done for the season.

Everything I've read is that the surgery is arthroscopic & that a player should be back practicing within 2-3 weeks. Good chance he's back in 5-6 weeks, honestly.

All menisectomies are through scopes. The 5-6 weeks is the best case scenario and is possible. The recovery from surgery is more like 3-4. It's really just getting the inflammation and edema down then getting the ROM back. The hard part is getting the muscles to come back around as one of the portals from the scope goes right through the vastus medialis and it tends to shut down for a period of time.

Eaton might have to go back to center...

Interesting insight. Sure seems like you know a hell of a lot more than I do on this, lol.

Sounds dumb but this is when we find out what type of team this really is.

 

They got back to .500, well within striking distance at 3.5 games. Now they lose Jackson for 6 weeks & know they have no internal re-enforcement coming out of the pen w/ Petricka coming back for the year.

 

June's schedule is pretty daunting & have a good amount of divisional games.

 

They are finally losing players to injury. Every other team in the division has dealt with it already, so now it's time to see what the Sox can do with it.

 

Burdi.

Interesting insight. Sure seems like you know a hell of a lot more than I do on this, lol.

 

 

It's his job. We even used to have a pinned ASK PTAC section here somewhere at this site for his "medical advice/evaluations," and he also has very accurate diagnoses of pitcher's deliveries/mechanics as well.

 

 

The rate we're going now, Burdi and Hansen will both be coming out of the pen in September, lol...

Anderson or Saladino to CF?

Anderson or Saladino to CF?

 

I read speculation that the Sox had considered moving Anderson to CF a while ago. Not sure if he got any reps there, though.

 

Saladino has only played a limited number of games in LF in the minors.

 

There's no way in hell they're bringing up Anderson AND shifting his position on the fly from the only one he's known his entire career.

 

 

I'm also ready for it to be Leury Garcia or Bourgeois (not sure if he can hold down that position arm-wise) just to KEEP Adam Eaton in RF.

 

Really don't want to see Shuck out there, but Eaton back to CF forces Ventura to choose from Coats/Garcia defensively for RF.

 

 

 

Ian Desmond...sigh.

Maybe Anderson just follows Beckham, Viciedo, Semien and does end up getting shifted all around. Nothing would be shocking at this point.

 

The Royals have been successful moving Whit Merrifield between OF and 2B doing exactly this, fwiw. But not in the middle of his first week in the major leagues. That would be nuts. Truly.

Coats is best Sox can do ugh!

Someone else had a hip impingement a couple of weeks ago and was lost for the year. It made me wonder about Petricka. Webb is no loss, but don't TJ guys sometimes have issues with command when they come back? He won't be able to throw a strike. As soon as Jackson got going offensively he breaks down. That is disappointing but it could be worse, if you are going to lose 3 guys in a day, this is in at least the 85 percentile of good.

Maybe we can trade Carson Fulmer for Trayce Thompson.

When it rains it pours.

 

Now the Sox are going through injuries like Kansas City and Cleveland. We'll see if they have any kind of depth to alleviate things.

If you could choose a starting OF the Sox would lose for up to 6 weeks, Jackson would be the unanimous choice. Webb would be a unanimous choice for a pitcher to lose for the season, and Petricka would be close to unanimous. So while it stings, it could be a lot worse.

Webb is no loss. Maybe a blessing even.

Petricka hurts. Had no idea it was that serious. We def need at least one arm through trade.

AJax hurts on D but also who it exposes. Bat wise I'm okay with Coats over Jackson. But not Shuck. Not in center and not hitting 5th. Even bat him second at least you can hit and run, bunt, play small ball ahead of Abreu but he's the one protecting Frazier? Okay? He ain't a run producer and never has been.

s***

Honestly, I'd give Adam Engel a shot since he couldn't do much worse than Jackson offensively. Defensively, he's ready for the job.

MENISCUS, btw.

Good one

Lol no. He's not close to ready.

Lol no. He's not close to ready.

But can he pick it and hit .220? Maybe

Definitely not.

 

Maybe if this were an extremely short stint, but not for six weeks.
