Dominikk85 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Imo burger should be moved off third now to lower the risk of injury. Let him play first and hopefully mash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him play first and hopefully mash. He got injured running to 1B and walking in his backyard. Neither have to do with playing 3B. I get that you are saying 3B is a more difficult on anyone's body, but his injuries were flukey and I would rather he play 3B as long as he can. If he can't play 3B without hurting himself, then he wasn't long for sports anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a good one that specifically discusses the Achilles as well. It's a few years old and there is newer research that shows it as well. You can't increase it a large amount but enough to increase the overall tensile strength. ijspt-10-748.pdf Edited February 13, 2019 by ptatc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you read anything about "eccentric training"? After I had my dual ruptures I read some folks that strongly advocated using it for tendon injuries.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Berger never had the first step quickness to be a major league third baseman and these injuries were the final nails in that coffin. From watching that video it's very encouraging to see him post up on that front foot. Maybe there's some hope that he can still provide some value as a DH.

Have you read anything about "eccentric training"? After I had my dual ruptures I read some folks that strongly advocated using it for tendon injuries. Over training is the primary cause of most injuries. Like in the article eccentric training is the most important activity with any tendonopathy. It has to isolated though. No concentric activity. For example for the Achilles raise up on your right heel set your left foot down and lower only on the left. This way the left had only the lowering eccentric activity. As the article said it helps to properly align the collagen and increase the metabolic functions. But that's as much as we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 geez...he does look huge. He was a thick boy anyway. Any idea (percentage wise) where he's at with his achilles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to tell. Typical rehab would be 4-5 months. However with it being the second one I don't know if they used an augmentation device or not. Probably not with his age. If they are letting him hit, he is probably a month away from games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be treating it very conservatively then. I don't blame them with the second injury. Edit: I now see an article after surgery in May that they were predicting 12 months. Again very conservative but I don't blame them in this situation. Edited February 14, 2019 by ptatc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it in his face, looks much more defined now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Because of the threat of lawsuit, I would be surprised if the Sox called up Eloy literally the day after his clears the service time line. I am going to guess it is something closer to May 1, just to try to make it look a little less obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I think Moncada get really improve with a slightly altered approach.. 7-130 with 93 strikeouts when he falls behind 0-2. Most have some tough numbers after that count. But that is almost unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Reynaldo Lopez posted a minuscule 1.38 ERA over his final seven starts last season, achieving a goal of getting his season ERA under 4.00 at 3.91. The right-hander's early target for 2019 takes that number a step lower. "Last year my ERA was a three something," said Lopez through interpreter Billy Russo. "I would like to have an ERA below three." Everything coming from Merkin from whitesox.xom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
