Tommy John Surgery for Syndergaard

Post by beetlebum71 »

I wish nothing but the best for Thor in his recovery, but I think this is a great illustration of why the people who were on board for a Buxton plus (significant other) pieces for Thor last year were being incredibly short-sighted. I know Byron hasn't exactly been Ironman out there or anything, but trading quality ML position players for quality ML pitching is a fool's bet. Pitchers are always one injury away from being shelved for essentially 18 months. Position players are so much safer. I get that sometimes you need to take a risk, but can you imagine how pissed people would be if the Twins had traded Buxton and Kirilloff for Syndergaard last summer right now?

Holy shit, it'd be bad.

I mocked the Mets for having 6 MLB starters after they signed Porcello and Wacha. Now they are down to 5. At the rate things are going, they might not need any of them anyway.

Lol. I love these

Nobody can predict injuries but you guys have been using them for a excuse for years. :thumbsup:

Be careful, the Twins big signing seems to be a bit of a injury risk himself.

Ummm no. I'm not like you and replacements calling people "Tards" for disagreeing with my sports and political takes.

I didn't say you guys have it. I'm saying with it going on, there should be bigger fish to fry for you boys than the legendary, Sergeant Rubetube.

Carry on, GENTLEMEN.
