FutureSox actually broke the news the night it happened, at least the injury anyway. Thanks to having a writer down there. But didn't know the medical nature of the injury.

He's essentially only missing 5 weeks of baseball. I think there's a good chance the Sox push him to Low A at the start of next season.

Well, at least he's not a speed-based player like a Jared Mitchell. He's expected to be a corner OF guy, or DH, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 15, 2015 -> 07:41 AM) ????? 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
