brijames1957 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 This is just beyond bad luck. That is now 4 starters who are either out long term or done for the year. Somehow this team has to stay afloat until mid August and then hope everyone that can come back does and is able to contribute. I don't know what they will do now before the trade deadline.

Yeah all the people who say that Collins can catch are going to crawl into holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I know we don't love Collins around here....but this gives him his chance to really play every day and be ready for the playoff run. I hate it...but for the future, this is actually a good look here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raBBit Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Of course the Cubs signed Chirinos and the Indians Wilson Ramos the past few days. The Indians have DFA'd Rene Rivera and Lavarnway the past two weeks. Not sure if either are worth the 40 man spot honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Deep Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 4 to 6 is a lot better then I expected. ALSO a week thrown in with the All star game........I guess it could be a lot worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 4-6 weeks isn’t bad. It could’ve been worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxBlanco Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I was actually relieved when I read 4-6 weeks. Get everybody back by September 1 and then roll into the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the guy, but if he was, let’s say a 5th rounder, he wouldn’t touch a catcher’s mitt in MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox can still trade for a guy, granted it's gonna be an overpay we are gonna see in the next week or two what Hahn and JRs ultimate goal is for this year, it's either all in, or ride out the season and let the chips fall part of me says option 2 is most likely and might be the better option. not gonna tear up what's left of the farm system for a small 2-3% bump in WS odds, not to mention any guy we trade for could just as easily injure themselves given how this training staff can't seem to keep guys healthy Sox might need to trade for a catcher just to have a guy to replace Collins or Zavala once one of them goes down sorry for the rant, just thinking out loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt in my mind we need to find another quality catcher asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get everybody back by September 1 and then roll into the playoffs. Sox are fortunate to reside in such a garbage division, with three of the four not bothering to spend the bare minimum (bottom third), and the Twins fielding a pile of flaming shit this season. @ptatc - At first glance, is the four to six weeks too optimistic for a catcher to return to full strength, as opposed to a player with far less stress with the knee?

If they thought it was the calf but it's the knee, it's most likely the plantaris. Luckily not a significant muscle. Just hurts. It's commonly used for spare parts for other tendon reconstructions.

It's really part of the calf but it has an attachment above the lateral console in the knee. So it is the original injury. A plantaris rupture.
