QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 04:30 PM) Everything I've read is that the surgery is arthroscopic & that a player should be back practicing within 2-3 weeks. Good chance he's back in 5-6 weeks, honestly. All menisectomies are through scopes. The 5-6 weeks is the best case scenario and is possible. The recovery from surgery is more like 3-4. It's really just getting the inflammation and edema down then getting the ROM back. The hard part is getting the muscles to come back around as one of the portals from the scope goes right through the vastus medialis and it tends to shut down for a period of time.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 04:25 PM) He has a hip impingement. I don't even know what that is, but it must be really severe for him to miss the whole season. That is a nasty one. If he needs surgery is is out for the year. It's when the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis (hip socket) bang together and can tear the labrum of the hip. It can be cause by either the ball of the femur being too big and mishapen or the socket being too shallow. In this case they need to re-shpe the bone. It can also be just like a shoulder labral tear where the bones just twisted incorrectly and the labrum got caught in between. In this case the need to go in and remove the torn part. Either way it's a 2-3 month minimum rehab. Not fun injury to rehab, especially if either bone needs to be altered.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 04:23 PM) Sounds dumb but this is when we find out what type of team this really is. They got back to .500, well within striking distance at 3.5 games. Now they lose Jackson for 6 weeks & know they have no internal re-enforcement coming out of the pen w/ Petricka coming back for the year. June's schedule is pretty daunting & have a good amount of divisional games. They are finally losing players to injury. Every other team in the division has dealt with it already, so now it's time to see what the Sox can do with it. 6 weeks plus a rehab assignment most likely. Could be as little as 4 weeks with a rehab assignment. That's why they said 6 weeks minimum.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) Petricka is done for the year? His injury must have been way worse than I thought. What happened to him?

QUOTE (scotty22hotty @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) Odds are surgery with 6-8 weeks recovery and MLB CF ready in 10 weeks. Trading for Bruce is highly likely now since he fills 2 holes. Sadly he's horrible in RF. Should be on the lower end of that at for the worst case scenario, if he needs surgery. More likely 4 -6 weeks.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 03:35 PM) Kind of bizarre, played all 9 innings last night. Hope we like Avi Garcia in RF!!! Must have really been sore with decreased ROM today.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Paging PTAC! I'm sure they will try to calm the inflammation down with rest and meds. If not, it's 3-4 weeks after surgery.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 03:01 PM) Oooo like what I'm reading here. Don't see anything on defense/athleticism but seeing great bat speed and raw power. The one report said he will start at SS but probably need to switch to 3B where he will be above average.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) White Sox select with their 6th RD pick... SS Luis Curbelo, Cocoa HS, Florida Sounds like a good pick from the MLB scouting info.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 9, 2016 -> 10:57 PM) I predict we lose the Sale game, lose the Quintana game, win the TBA game. Because White Sox. Excellent! I will be there to watch TBA pitch on Sunday.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 02:19 PM) He was coming off his first when they drafted and has a second since. Ah.. OK.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) Fry was one that was signed for slot value that has never been healthy enough to know what the Sox have in him. Austin has been a disappointment for a guy that was a sandwich round pick at one time. They did get some more value, it just hasn't panned out. Wasn't he they guy who already had 2 TJ surgeries when they drafted him?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) As John Kruk once said when a woman criticized him for being a professional athlete and smoking in public, lady I'm no athlete. I'm a baseball player. I laughed hysterically when I saw that interview. Working in the league in the late 80's-early 90's it was true. It really changed now though.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) I'm starting to wonder if Alec Hansen is more expensive than we thought. Yeah, you kind of wonder.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:48 PM) IIRC the pick after that change of philosophy was Poreda. He wasn't the high floor low ceiling. Turns out he was just as bad though. Lately though, everyone has to like Sale, seems a lot like Anderson, a lot like Rodon, a lot like Fulmer. Many are missing guys like Semien, and Thompson. So what is a KW draft and what is not, when all the players are different kind of confuses me. They've really stayed with college guys though. Isn't Thompson the only high school kid on your list? Although last year they took some high school guys as I recall. Zangari and crew I believe.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:47 PM) They have never, ever had this approach in drafting position players. Yes, with pitching I'll grant you that they had a philosophy change about 5 years ago. But they hadn't offensively. No not necessarily hitting but with safe high floor college players as opposed to low floor athletic types. Hopefully, they took who they thought was the BPA not just that type of hitter because they wanted one.

Now you're talking! They really shouldn't let me off for the summer. I spend WAY too much time on the computer. I need to go read. Edit: where did that post go that I was responding to?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) Well this approach has been a complete 180 degree turn around from the way KW used to operate. So I guess i should have said that either KW has completely changed his approach, or he has much less of a say. Sorry won't make the mistake again Which was 180 degrees from the drafting approach he had before that one.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) Doesnt seem like a KW draft to me. I'm going to suggest that KW, Hahn and Hostetler have had a mutual change in philosophy. Kind of like a few years ago when they changed from High floor-low ceiling guys like Broadway and McCullough to athletic guys like Anderson and Mitchell.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:31 PM) Good read on Fisher http://theadvocate.com/sports/latestsports...batting-average You have to like a guy whose roommate is named Webb Bobo.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:31 PM) Is there some inside joke with the unbelievable comments when KW gets mentioned? Sorry, it's just me. I'm tired of every time something happens that people like it's Hahn doing it and KW not having any input. Conversely, everytiime something happens they don't like it's KW doing it and Hahn is just a guy siting in a corner playing solitaire collecting a check. People just don't think that they can work together and make decisions together. It HAS to be only ONE of them making the decision at separate times.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:23 PM) there has been a clear change in direction in the approach drafting position players. I think KW has much less of a say. And that's a good thing Unbelievable.......

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:02 PM) If they are going to pay over-slot somewhere else, fine, but otherwise, don't see the point of a clear reach. no need to use round 3 for org. minor leaguers. That's exactly why they did it. Save money for the others, maybe Fisher as some experts had him as high as the 3rd round.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 12:04 PM) But there's another bias you're missing - the guys who have the big salaries are also typically older and therefore are more likely to hit the DL anyway. That would interesting to look at. Who has the bigger salary 26-31 or 31-36? I would put the latter group in the more likely to be injured but not the former.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 12:47 PM) OK, sorry for misquoting you. My short term memory may be off for some reason. Teenage kids and age are contributing to mine.
