    Last year they played it in between going all in and doing nothing or selling. I think they’re doing the same thing-making the same mistake-again.
  2. FredLynn
    I have a feeling that we’re done. Matz is it. That would say to me that Henry has the same opinion of this team I have-that they’re not worth wasting a trade of any of our prospects or players in a futile attempt to make them competitive.
  3. FredLynn
    I know. But the team has good medical personnel (sometimes) and expecting the worst possible case scenario isn't where I am at. I expect he will follow the course of most people with his injury. Like you said, we'll see.
  4. FredLynn
    I'll accept your wager if we define it as being ready to get on the baseball field, at the very least for a rehab assignment a year from his injury, May 4. I could also live with him getting on a baseball field by opening day 2026 whenever that is, though its slightly less than a year. We would donate the $100 to our favorite charity. You win and I donate it to your favorite charity; I win and you donate $100 to my favorite charity. Deal?
  5. FredLynn
    Hopefully part of his rehab is losing weight.
  6. FredLynn
    Your expectations are not supported by the medical literature, overall. It’s just a baseless opinion-to which you’re entitled. I am. It aware of any significant injuries he’s had besides the rib and the knee. He had shoulder bursitis in 9/23 but that’s a relatively minor injury. Any others? He might not be ready for ML ball by opening day but I’d bet he’ll be ready to get on the field for rehab no later than a year from his date of injury-May 4. That’s what the medical literature tells us. And if he could slim down my guess is that he could reduce the chances of future injuries.

    https://www.mymosh.com/orthopedics/what-you-should-know-about-patellar-tendon-tears/ About a year from the date of the injury is realistic. To assume otherwise is awfully…….pessimistic 😬
  8. FredLynn
    There’s more money available if Henry wants to spend it. Middle third in team salary for a big market team isn’t acceptable.
  9. FredLynn
    You don’t know that. The medical literature I reviewed FOR THIS INJURY says 6-12 months. Your “slow healer” assumption I presume is based on his rib cage injury. That’s a different injury. Based on medical literature I’d assume he’ll be back around opening day. There’s no rational reason to assume otherwise.
  10. FredLynn
    Define “around opening day” and I’ll think about it
  11. FredLynn
    We already have a FANTASTIC DH in Yoshida. And he's not going anywhere.
  12. FredLynn
    I also reviewed some medical literature on the subject. I can produce it if you want, but in the interest of brevity the AI was a summary. Casas has also stated that he hasn't been given a recovery timeline longer than a year. Here you go: https://www.webmd.com/men/features/patellar-tendon-recovery
  13. FredLynn
    And I am fine with him there, given his career OPS and OPS+. Defensively he has some work to do, but his production you can't rationally question. I haven't seen any timelines for recovery that are over a year with this kind of injury, especially in a young healthy athlete.
  14. FredLynn
    How do you know he won't be ready in April or May? Have you read something that indicates that is true? An AI search produced this: Triston Casas, first baseman for the Boston Red Sox, suffered a season-ending ruptured left patellar tendon in May. He is expected to make a full recovery, with a target return date around Opening Day 2026
  15. FredLynn
    So four rings is enough. Time to hang it up? As a fan thats not an acceptable attitude. This is a team that should compete for a ring nearly every year. Its not KC or Tampa. More effort should be put into doing so.
  16. FredLynn
    So you want to plan the future on the possibility that once he is recovered he'll likely be injured again? You cannot plan for every eventuality. If he gets hurt the team will need to deal with it, just like they would need to deal with anyone else getting injured.
  17. FredLynn
    They can sign a very good player or two AND extend people worth extending. This is not a small market franchise like Henry would like to see it as. In total payroll the Flops are middle third, #12. We can do better.
  18. FredLynn
    The fact is that his numbers are good. You cannot count on someone getting injured as a reason to plan to replace him. Thats just dumb. If he gets hurt you deal with it. It could happen to anyone.
  19. FredLynn
    He needs to get started this offseason. That amount of money can buy a very good player and a long contract. If he pockets most of it I am going to be very disappointed, though not surprised.
  20. FredLynn
    I meant he wasn't given a chance in 2025. Looking at his stats his career OPS is .800 and his career OPS+ is 118. He's not 40 years old. Next year I would expect his numbers to be closer to his career stats.
  21. FredLynn
    Henry needs to stop being a cheapskate and be willing to spend all the $250M he’s saving after trading the malcontent away.
  22. FredLynn
    I wouldn’t be giving up on Casas at 1B. He had a slow start this year before he blew out his knee but he really never got a chance to show what he has, if anything.
  23. FredLynn
    It’s the rules of the game. Baseball is a team sport. If a player doesn’t accept that then they SHOULD be off the team. There’s only one manager, one GM. The players get paid a lot of money to do what’s best for the TEAM, not for themselves.
  24. FredLynn
    I can’t even imagine how disruptive it must have been in the clubhouse having young impressionable rookies sitting next to a guy who refused to do what was best for the team. Now the rookies have learned that if you’re not a team player you’re not on the team.
  25. FredLynn
    Bello gives it up on an 0-2 count. Inexcusable.
