BP = Batting Practice 

That's what Keuchel would be with his stuff in the pen.  

doubt Keuchel is as bad as last year, was an outlier if you look at his career numbers.  reminded me of Buerhle in 2006

he's had two bad seasons other than 2021 and  neither were that bad

he bounced back both times with a sub 3ERA

hes gonna probably be pitching his ass off for that guaranteed money to kick in, I'm expecting a good year for him

Wonder if a team (A’s) would take his rehab on in a trade?

I thought the same thing. I'd trade Crochet for Manaea today, even with Manaea being a FA at the end of the year. 

It's worth the risk if Oakland is willing to put in the time with Crochet.

I would prefer they give him Sandy Koufax  surgery who was even better than the long career of TJ.

It not even really the Tommy John surgery any longer with the advancement they've made. Same concept though.

First off, Jace Fry is on the Nationals - So, he is not available.

 

Bennett Sousa.  Anderson Severino.  In House.

 

Tony Watson.  Ask Andrew Miller about coming out for retirement.   FA?

They also picked up a LH flamethrower named Yoan Aybar on waivers recently IIRC.

Assuming they pull the trigger soon, yes.

If he needs it, they'll have nearly 12 months before next season starts. 

Maybe they'll try conservative care first. That could change things. Or if the do a repair instead of a reconstruction.

Will we ever get to the point where a player just decides to operate early at the first sign of potential troubles?  It would have been great if Crochet had TJS right after the 2020 postseason.

It's always tough. While reconstruction is at 85% return to PLOF, there is still a chance he won't. 

So if the joint isn't too lax its tough to advocate for surgery.

No doctor on earth is going to preemptively cut someone open and do an unneeded surgery on someone.  This is just never going to happen.
