"I've been debating for months as to how or even if I should share this with people. - I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer. So now, I'm asking for prayers. - A few months ago, after I was optioned to AAA, I found out I had a growth on my thyroid. Flying back & forth from Toronto to Buffalo after pitching to have more and more tests done it was finally concluded that the growth is considered malignant.. Meaning it contained the C word.. cancer. Hearing this was alarming, yea. Weird, yea, that too. I was given the option to shut my year down & get it removed immediately. However, seeing another doctor that determined I could wait until the end of the season reassured my gut feeling. Just Keep Playing. Baseball kept me sane. Regardless of results on the field, I forgot about it when I was between the lines. Afterall, I was just trying to get the heck out of AAA. & I did. I was revived with an opportunity, a blessing from God, with the Tigers back in the Big Leagues. So yea, the power of prayer.. It got me through this season. Now that it's over it's time to get this thing out, so please keep me in your thoughts & prayers as I undergo surgery & come out 100% cancer free! As always,,, #justkeeplivin"

Can't believe he waited. A good friend of mine refused conventional treatment and relied on hocus pocus homeopathic remedies. Is dead.

 

Just get the damn thing treated by the best doctors you can get your hands on.

And at the risk of coming off a bit overbearing, I think this might deserve its own thread rather than be wrapped up in a fairly cold discussion about his trade value and statistical projections.

Well said. I have met Daniel in spring training and he was the most polite, unassuming, approachable player in the system. My prayers are with you Daniel.

The Donaldson trade (so far) has been around equal in its awesomeness to the Dickey trade shittiness. Travis was definitely a good one although I want to see more of him obviously.

 

Considering Gose looks like a sack of potatoes I'd say Travis trade already is a win. But like you I wonder about how healthy he is.
