Timmy U Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Poor Dunning. He was having such a great year. On the bright side an elbow is better than a shoulder. Strange, we considered Dunning with the Burdi pick, now they both hurt their elbows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 That's why the whole narrative of taking advantage of Rizzo can suddenly look much different a year or two later. Everyone loves this move a lot more than the Sale trade...but pitching is so fickle, so many injuries. That doesn't mean we still have any clue where these 3 will be in 2021, but just goes to prove the axiom you can never have too much pitching. And Kopech/Cease were the guys that would have been least surprising to get injured with how hard they both throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) Not sure what to make of the video. But I also wouldn't trust the guy whose tweets you guys linked in here. I've seen him on Twitter, he's even more pessimistic than Fathom. He was tweeting about how Dylan Covey is "likely out for the season" after that minor flare-up today.

SoxAce Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If the announcer was right, then Zack Collins should be commended. Kid knew something was wrong and he didn't want to chance it.
