Shouldn't a stress fracture heal in 7 months? If it hasn't by now, I'd say surgery is likely. This is just amazing. how long before Sanchez starts having problems? Wow, two straight games, I don't know how these guys do it. |

Please no surgery, please no surgery.  What even is the surgical procedure for a stress fracture of the ribs? |

Please no surgery, please no surgery. [img alt=" " class="smile" style="max-width:100%;" src="//storage.proboards.com/6828121/images/DGNCFRHxTEyDzvwBwfZh.gif"] What even is the surgical procedure for a stress fracture of the ribs? One of Judge articles I read said that the rib is removed during surgery. I'm not sure what the recovery time is on that. |

MAYBE they caught the Ellsbury Virus???
...In the brave new world of legalized gambling, the best bet Yankee fans could have made last week was that neither Aaron Judge nor Giancarlo Stanton would be in the Opening Day lineup come March 26 in Baltimore. Or, for that matter, Opening Month.
By now, they have become resigned to the two big men being hurt and missing substantial parts of the season. The great Yankee hype of teaming up these two giants of power in the middle of the order after Stanton was acquired from Miami in 2017 has become a pipe dream.
You can’t make this stuff up: After his umpteenth MRI, it was found Friday that the nagging pain Judge was feeling in his shoulder all spring was actually a broken rib! Supposedly incurred making a diving catch in the outfield way back in September!
And after missing almost all of last season with an assortment of injuries — left biceps, left shoulder, left knee, left calf — Stanton played in one spring training game in February, promptly reported soreness in his right calf during defensive drills on Feb. 26, and hasn’t been on the field since.
...Nevertheless, the preponderance of injuries to the two big guys is troubling. In Stanton’s case, the Yankees owe him $244 million through 2027. His acquisition could end up as the worst deal in team history, by far.
As for Judge, who missed 54 games last season with the second substantial oblique injury of his career (the other being in 2016), the Yankees would love for him to be the face of the franchise for the next decade. But until he can prove he can consistently stay on the field, giving him a long-term contract would be as insane as it was to pick up Stanton’s bloated contract.
At the same time, however, you have to wonder why these two guys are hurt so much. Is it because they’re just too big for baseball players and thus more susceptible to these kind of injuries — calf, oblique, pec, biceps, ribs etc. — that take so long to heal? READ MORE...

Love the old player references we get here... I am constitutionally incapable of bypassing any thread that mentions Dr. Strangeglove, Dick Stuart. Inger and Desousa are probably the only other posters here who remember him. I am pretty sure that he is the worst defensive first baseman of all time. He led all first basemen in errors in each of his first seven seasons. That includes his rookie year when he played only 64 games at first and committed 16 errors. The streak ended in his eighth season-- his only year with the Phillies when I saw him in person many times-- only because the third baseman, Dick Allen, made so many uncatchable throws that it cut down on error opportunities for Stuart. Several years he had more than twice as many errors as the guy who was second. Stuart and Allen had something else in common-- they could both belt the ball 450-500 feet. Although Allen did it more often than Stuart. My friends and I often waited outside the player's exit at Connie Mack Stadium after games to either get autographs or just talk to the players. Stuart would come out puffing on a big cigar, wearing a loud sport coat like somebody out of "Guys and Dolls" and talking like a smartass, calling us dumbasses in a way that made us feel like we were all one of the boys. It was great. Had he played for the Yankees, his defensive deficiencies would have driven me crazy. But since he didn't, I was able to enjoy his great entertainment value. Thanks for bringing him up! |

And, since most of us were still sperm or ovum during Stuart’s playing days, I also have to chime in with mention of the 23 year old Stuart hitting 66 HR in the Pirates system in 1956. To show how historically long ago that was, they didn’t keep track of bases on balls in that league that season.
Any way, Stuart followed up with a 45 homer MiLB season as a 24 year-old, and still didn’t get to sniff the majors. In 1958 he chimes in with another 31 in the minors and finally got promoted, where he added 16 more for a season combined total of 47... just the stuff of legends...

Thanks Kaybli. Slightly off-the-axis guys like Dick Stuart make the game more fun.
