Anytime you visit Dr. Andrews its never a good thing. I'm very concerned. The old saying goes you can never have enough pitching. It all gets sorted out in the end. it makes the Sale trade even more BIG.

I hope Wright and E-Rod are ready when ST is over. They are know sure bet. My happy dream has turned bad. We will watch Henry Owens pitch every 5th day. He is already getting lit up as is. My rant is over.

Owens has been uninspiring since he was in AA.

 

Maybe Roenis Elias can surpass him on the depth chart. Not that Roenis Elias gets my belly button puckering and unpuckering...

Can I interest you in a Brian Johnson?

I'm looking to replace David Price, not Bon Scott..

 

It was a greater step down for AC/DC than it would be for the Sox.

I'm not so sure, and I agree the drop off from Bon Scott was rather precipitous. ..

Done for the year. Still like him better than Clay. Thank God for Owens.

 

I like Price better than Buchholz, but tat is looking like a pretty bad trade right now.

 

Owens has a long way to go before he gives me any confidence.

David Price Undergoes MRI After Experiencing Elbow Soreness

By Jeff Todd | March 2, 2017 at 8:46am CDT

 

9:48am: There is “serious concern” that Price may require Tommy John surgery, Bowden tweets.

 

8:46am: The Red Sox are holding their breath after sending in key lefty David Price for an MRI, as Jim Bowden of ESPN.com reports (Twitter links). For now, Price will just be held out of his next scheduled start while he heads for a second opinion.

 

The broader outlook is not known, but manager John Farrell says there is concern given the degree of soreness Price is experiencing. And while it’s far from clear whether there’s reason yet to believe he could be headed for surgery, the veteran lefty is already slated to see one or both of the game’s foremost Tommy John experts — Dr. James Andrews and Dr. Neal ElAttrache — for a second opinion, per Tim Britton of the Providence Journal (via Twitter).

 

Price, 31, signed a record-setting seven-year, $217MM with the Red Sox last winter. The agreement includes an opt-out opportunity after the 2018 campaign. He has earned only $30MM of the total thus far; needless to say, Boston has a lot riding on the lefty, both now and in the future.

 

While his first season with the Red Sox didn’t pan out quite as hoped, with Price recording only a 3.99 ERA, he still managed to throw a typically robust 230 frames. Boston has hoped that he and newly added starter Chris Sale would provide a historically excellent 1-2 lefty punch, with reigning AL Cy Young winner Rick Porcello rounding out a top-flight front of the rotation.

 

If the worst case comes to pass for Price, then the club does have three arms to round out the staff — Eduardo Rodriguez, Drew Pomeranz, and Steven Wright (assuming all remain on track with their respective health issues) — but little in the way of certainty beyond that. Boston president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski previously shipped out veteran Clay Buchholz, but he has expressed confidence in the team’s remaining depth.

Well s***... Now watch Buchholz make 25+ starts for the Phillies with a sub-3.50 ERA.

 

Was just thinking the same thing..... horrible news

It might be nice to still have Buch, but I'm glad we shed his salary and the grief of always wondering when his next injury was going to occur.

 

We can find a good starter who costs less than him, if we need one.

Fluid buildup and inconclusive results. Interesting. Sounds like Andrews will get another MRI when the swelling goes down. Even if it's a partial tear and he gets the Tanaka treatment, you're talking him being out into June/July. And Tanaka wasn't back to himself for over a year

It could be no tear.

 

That's what I'm hoping for.

 

Boy, that Sale trade looks even better now!

Good one!

 

I don't get it, but I see that it has something to do with AC/DC, which explains why I don't get it. LOL

Has any good ever come from a second opinion from Dr Andrews? Ever?

 

Speaking of AC/DC, looks like our title hopes might be Shot Down In Flames.

 

I don't care what pitching we have or don't have, I don't miss Bucholz for a nanosecond. Good riddance to inconsistent garbage.
