Springer Injury

How does your friend know this?

 

4-8 weeks

 

Any hamstring issue comes with a partial tear doesn’t it? That’s the injury, right?

 

4-8 weeks recovery.... 1-2 weeks in AAA ball.

 

Exactly. 4 weeks best case more likely 6-8. It sucks but if fate deemed it to occur I’d rather have it now and have him healthy in the second half vs. losing him for the stretch and the play offs

 

I'm just sad for Springer more than anything. He was well on his way to winning AL MVP this year. That's out of the cards now.

 

That really sucks. It'll be close to 3 months before he's back out there.

 

2 months

 

HIPPA violation?

 

One can not argue with that logic.

 

But who leaked it to the Chronicle?

 

AJ H. and Jeff L. (last names kept off this board for anonymity)

 

Just playing devils' advocate here. Obviously we never want to see any of our players get hurt, but this may make George a bit more affordable for HOU in the long run. Sucks to see it happen during this crazy run that he's on, but if we can let him rest up while maintaining our lead in the AL West, we'll be just fine. OAK is on an absolute tear (9-1 in last 10), but HOU still has a healthy lead and we have strong enough team to absorb the injury. Getting Springer 100% healthy should be the main focus moving forward...but I'm wondering how hard this injury will hit Springer's pockets come FA, given that he already has a bit of a reputation for being injury prone (fair or not).

 

lol and then fans get mad at players for complaining that they're not making enough money

 

My gut says just after the All-Star break.
