ST GDT: Phillies @ Jays (March 12, 2:05 ET)

[Spanky99]

I'm having a debate with a buddy.

 

Can any of you guys think of a player who had big injuries (more than year sidelined similarly to Saunders) and came back to be a very good player?

 

I'll accept pitchers but would rather hitters. (Carpenter qualifies)

 

A-Rod

[Cyborg]

Saunders looks great.

[Spanky99]

Saunders looks great.

 

Indeed.

[RealAccountant]

Dickey 2 ko in 10 innings

 

Is Estrada pitching today

[HERPDERP]

Don't see that often, Donaldson with a 3 pitch SO watching 2 fastballs for strikes.

 

seems like a weird day today. two plays where he barely jogged to 1st, then this

[Jimcanuck]

anyone got a stream

[RealAccountant]

Yeah open your mouth :-)

I can't remember how much Tex and Granderson missed but it seemed like it was a full year. Garciaparra in 2006? I don't think Winfield played a game in 89. Canseco in the early 90's had some major issues but I think he played a game each year. Eric Davis in 95 took an entire year and a half (thanks partially to the strike) to recover from all his issues and came back great (only to find out he had cancer and come back from that)

[saskjayfan]

when is sanchez pitching again?

[RealAccountant]

Sorry bud

/please dont ban

[Stangstag]

Arencibia, the spring-masher

[Spanky99]

The Ceeb just ended Penny's career...

[Rusty_Savage]

No he isn't, don't be a drama Queen.

 

Sorry dad.

 

3 runs five hits and a two run homer is steady going

[RealAccountant]

Horrible meatball from Penny too, straight with no movement.

[Rusty_Savage]

Remember that one guy who said Stroman's spot wasn't guaranteed and then mentioned Penny. Good times Edited March 12, 2016 by Rusty_Savage

[HERPDERP]

Ceciliani impressive speed

[RealAccountant]

Lol Goins,

[RealAccountant]

That was some kind of horrible at bat from fields,

[RealAccountant]

Holy crap Penny is finished, wouldn't be surprised to see a release later today.

[Jimcanuck]

Penny doesn't look too bad. Not MLB good, but I can see him being useful after a few months in Buffalo.

JPA the attention whore has a boo boo

[Spanky99]

Stroman's job is safe... Wowzers!

bunt practice 2morrow

[Spanky99]

Don't go there!

[THANOS]

Ceciliani impressive speed

 

What's he hitting?

[Brownie19]

I feel like Dickey is really going to struggle at the beginning of the year again. His strikeout rate and velo keeps declining.

 

What's the velocity at this spring? Remember he had surgery on the knee...maybe he's still getting back to full strength....I thought fixing the knee and losing weight was going to allow him to up his velocity...

I've seen 64, 72, 77 and there was a fastball at 80. I believe the homer that he gave up was also a fastball.
