Dick Allen Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 After his TJ he now has had 2 elbow fractures. Makes you wonder if he is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptatc Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) After his TJ he now has had 2 elbow fractures. Makes you wonder if he is done. Makes sense. The ligament is now stronger than the bone. When he puts the stress on the elbow the bone gives instead of the ligament. That is a very good replacement.

Soxfest Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Never understood Cleveland giving him 4 mil with his injury history. Edited March 10, 2015 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Looks like he's getting the surgery in a few days and is out for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 When this season is over, Gavin will have been paid $1,250,000 per start the last 3 years. I wonder if he tries again. I can't imagine a team giving him anywhere near $4 million to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think teams would probably want him to fully complete his rehab before giving him anything at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claydude14 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I loved me some Gavin, and a healthy Gavin with Cleveland's rotation this year scared me. Don't wanna wish injury upon anyone, especially an athlete I like, but I am OK with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
