"quite the risk?"
If he gets the surgery now, he should be back by this time (ish) next year. If you wait, and he still needs to go under the knife, you are eating more of his 2019 season.
Potentially all of 2019, depending on when he goes under the knife. That means losing practically two whole seasons from him.
I think people are so used to spelling names similar to this with an "on" that its hard to think of it as an "on".
I didn’t give it any thought. I don’t think I have ever noticed the actual spelling of his name in order to spell it right or wrong in the first place.
Quite possibly the greatest typo in the history of typos.I failed at posting today.
Interesting to see Law down so quickly. If the reason he came up was to make a decision on whether to keep him on the 40, how did last night help in any way? He was awful with RISP but after that he was the best pitcher of the night.
My guess is that they needed innings in the bully, and Law didn’t have any in his arm after yesterday, so his final exam needed to be rescheduled.
The problem is that the Giants have created a lack of available arms if they need another guy for the bullpen. Beede, Law, Osich and Snelten are the only guys on the 40 who are healthy in Sacramento. Three of the those guys have been optioned in the past 3 days. Barring injury, Valdez is the guy for at least a week.
That is a fair move for Black. But his arm is holding on with bubble gum and dental floss. He needs to get up while he can (that’s what she said).
My sarcastic comment would have to do with all the veterans already doing that but what you say is a valid point, to an extent. They want to stay under the luxury tax threshold and are so stinkin' close. However, Valdez just came up so that doesn't seem to be too much of a concern.
But if Black comes up and his arm blows up while with SF, he will have to be 60’d, thus eating another 400K. If he blows up while in Sacto, it essentially doesn’t cost anything.
