    Other basketball players had a more successful return. For example Wilt Chamberlain came back after just four months and had success, leading the Lakers to the 1970 NBA finals. Baseball isn’t nearly as athletically demanding as basketball. I think there’s a good chance Casas makes it back-somewhere.

    Barring complications I would think he should be able to begin athletic activities. He’s not the first athlete to have this injury. Others have had it and made a full recovery, including basketball players who put a lot more stress on the structure than baseball players do.

    ACL tears are worse long term: ” An ACL tear is generally considered worse in terms of long-term stability and rehabilitation , often requiring 6–12 months for recovery and posing a higher risk of chronic instability or arthritis. While a patellar tendon rupture causes more immediate, severe functional loss (inability to extend the knee), both injuries require intensive, long-term rehabilitation. ”

    Thanks. And regardless of our disagreements I have always found your baseball insights to be rational.

    Patellar tendon ruptures, if promptly repaired, should heal completely and athletes should be able to return to normal activities within 4-6 months, assuming there are no surgical complications. I don't know if Casas had complications but I have heard that he is agressively attacking his rehab.

    Devers makes a LOT of money. He gets an average annual salary of $31,350,000 which works out to $51,647 for every plate appearance in 2025. For that money he should be doing what he is told to do for the good of the team. While the situation isn't 100% his fault (the communication from what I hear could have been better) I would assign him 98% of the blame. We don't need players like that on the team. I am glad he is gone.
  7. FredLynn
    He’s better than who we will end up with.

    Is Yoshida an infielder?
  9. FredLynn
    What a surprise! We missed out on him too. Good thing we were “interested”. One stated priority was to improve our offense. The other was to get a good SP, which we did. Breslow again did a half ass job. He really needs to be fired.

    I’d accept a wager restricted to OPS>.780 over the past three years. The point is that we aren’t getting anyone like that at all. We will sign SOMEONE, followed by the usual excuses as to why we didn’t get someone better.
  11. FredLynn
    I’ll counter with I bet we don’t sign an IF with a career OPS at .780 or better. Thats more than generous. Interested?
  12. FredLynn
    Hilarious. And your offer was serious? You wanted me to bet that we wouldn’t sign anyone at all?
  13. FredLynn
    I’d settle for.780 IF too. Brady won’t take that bet either, preferring to complain about me not taking a sucker bet he proposed.
  14. FredLynn
    .800 is fine. Up for it? If not don’t complain when I don’t accept your sucker bet proposal.
  15. FredLynn
    I’ll help. It’s John Henry and yes, he is lining his personal pockets with the money he saved not only on Devers but the money he could have reinvested in player salaries to make the team more competitive. Profit over winning. That’s his right but he should be telling the truth. It’s not like he’s fooling anyone. Just be honest: “I’ve decided to reduce payroll to see if we can be competitive with a smaller percentage of revenue being reinvested in our players “. Easy.
  16. FredLynn
    The point is that the money should be reinvested in player salaries if the owners aren’t lying about being serious about winning.
  17. FredLynn
    I bet that we don’t get a IF with a career OPS of .800 or better to fill our glaring need. Up for the wager?
  18. FredLynn
    Who is the majority owner of FSG?
  19. FredLynn
    How much did he save by dumping Devers and where did it go?
  20. FredLynn
    You must be referring to yourself. I proposed a wager. You declined to accept it.
  21. FredLynn
    I’d also put money on us not acquiring the talented offensive player it would take to make us competitors for a ring-by any name
  22. FredLynn
    He also pocketed most of Devers money. He pockets the difference between players traded and players acquired on a regular basis. Thats why we are 23rd in percentage of revenue spent on player salaries.
  23. FredLynn
    Yup. I’ve consistently written here that it’s Henry’s right to prioritize profits over winning. Obviously that’s what he’s doing too. It’s why we will never win another ring as long as Henry owns the team.
  24. FredLynn
    I think we both know the value.
  25. FredLynn
    Yup. Too much for Henry in terms of $$$$ and prospects. We aren’t getting Donovan. I’d put money on it.
