?????

What I meant was, since Sox signed him he has played two years at AZL Rookie League; Sox have 5 years of controlling him, after which they either add him to the 40 man roster or risk losing him to the draft, and two years are gone, and he will not only lose the remaining few weeks in the season, but will probably have to lay off instructional league ball or whatever else the team had planned for him.

 

I thought it was a fairly rational thought.

This is the type of injury that could effect his speed/mobility.

A la Mitchell? As others noted, luckly, he isn't speed-dependent. He's also young. But thanks for the info, good to note.

 

Just curious though, why does a tib (or fib) fracture have that risk? Seems like the sort of thing that should heal fully.

I'm very curious also. Michael Vick broke his leg back in the day and came back as fast ever.

It's more where it occurred. The ligaments were injured as well. This means he twisted his ankle to sprain the ligaments but did it severely enough to fracture the bone as well. This also means a fair amount of damage to the joint. In many caees the damage to thr joint is severe enough that they don't regain full motion. This is where he could lose some speed/mobility. If he can't fully dorsiflex his ankle, it effects his running. It not a given that this will happen. He could regain full motion. It is just something that they really need to work on and doesn't always return.

It is just a possibilty that it can effect the speed. It depends on how much damage there is to the joint and subsequent limitations. Thre fact that Adolfo had ligament damage indicates joint damage. After looking up Vick's inury there wasnt much ligament damage, it was more from the hit he took.

The effects will not be an5thing like Mitchells. He ruptured the posterior tibialis tendon which primarily give support to the arch of the foot. He almost surely had residual foot issues due to the structural weakness of the arch. That is a devastating injury to a speed guy.
