Kelly to IL (strained hamstring - out a monthish); Banks up


Heads22

  • Heads22 changed the title to Kelly to IL (strained hamstring - out a monthish); Banks up

How are these professional athletes who supposedly have the best training and training staffs constantly getting these type of injuries? Kelly was just throwing a pitch and he strains a hamstring. Are they not stretching enough? Are they lifting too many weights or not enough ? It is like professional baseball players are made of glass now.

Kelly is getting paid $8.5 million this year. And he'll more or less end up missing 2 months of the season out of the gate. Great job FO. 

Spending any amount of FA money on relievers unless it's just "fuck you" money where it doesn't affect any other financial decision -- is beyond stupid. I don't always or even at all agree with Josh Nelson but his tweet about how the Sox do well as an org with cheap relievers yet signed a bunch of older, aging expensive ones anyways -- was spot on.

There were a decent amount of mid to back end bullpen guys that took one year deals for less AAV they could have also rolled with.

That's about 1/3 of the contract insurance will pay.

Isn't it closer to 60-65% of salary for that time missed?

As for the White Sox, Lloyd's of London should probably avoid insuring them at all costs.  Losing proposition unless the premiums are out of the stratosphere.

All depends on the deal they get. The bigger the contract the less of it that is covered.

I was just estimating.
