Reddy Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 06:04 PM) That thread title is a little overreactive, don't you think? He twisted his ankle, he didn't "Robin Ventura" himself. The guy has quite a few years before he even sniffs the majors. nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 QUOTE (daggins @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) So uh, is it a tendon or a ligament? I wonder what the downtime is gonna be like. Is it something where he'll be back in a couple months or is that pretty much it for his season? Len Kasper just said during the game that surgery will probably keep him out for the year.

Real Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 This is very, very bad news. This could affect KW's wheeling & dealing, also will definitely affect Mitchell's progression due to missing an entire MILB season This sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighurt4life Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 08:24 PM) you know a tibia is a bone right, and cannot be torn. could be a tibial tendon. If it's torn off at the bone they can probably re anchor it, if not they will have to pull part of his hamstring out or even use a cadaver tendon to re attach it although cadaver parts can be rejected sometimes.

bulokis Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 This sucks. Mitchell looks like he is worth watching for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Really tough news to swallow. Shame too as he was reassigned, but still played in the games. Happens all the time though with other players around the league. Hopefully you have a hellova year next season Jared. Anyone know if he's getting a screw or something put in it?

This could affect KW's wheeling & dealing, also will definitely affect Mitchell's progression due to missing an entire MILB season This sucks. It's gonna REALLY hamper his development time if this is a season ender. Worst case scenario already happen. Now we gotta hope the best case scenario is he's only missing a few weeks and will be good to go around May/June or so. Any type of experience is crucial for him. We also got to hope it isn't one of those surgeries that requires another ligament to be reattached to it or a screw. Ptatc.. you better be around my good man..

ThunderBolt Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'm not suprised. It really did look bad in person. This is obviously upsetting news, i was really looking forward to watching him develop this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Well there goes a big reason why I planned on purchasing the MiLB package. Huge blow for the organization in multiple ways. Yeah, you hope he's healthy and recovers independent of anything to do with baseball. But can't ignore the fact that this really hurts the franchise.

Friend of Nordhagen Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 This is just a tremendous bummer. Does it make me a bad person that I'm watching tonight's game and wondering why it had to be Mitchell and not, say, Lillibridge or something?

DBAHO Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Just when I was telling people not to put too much pressure on Jared, this happens. Very unfortunate, but there's nothing you can do about it. Injury wise, it's not in a very good area obviously for a speedy guy like Mitchell who relies on his legs. Surgery wise, I wonder if they'll end up having to put a plate in his ankle, because there have been cases with different people in different sports, where that has become an issue "in terms of pain and hot spots etc." in the following years.
