Alford to DL (wrist fracture)

[Virgil_Hiltz]

He was probably gone after tonight's game with both Donaldson and Tulo coming back. This sucks. Good for Alford's pocketbook in the short term though.

 

Alfords MLB per diem while on the disabled list may actually pay for his parents new house! ;)

Still no word as to how this happened? He was fine playing last night......some kind of freak injury/fall afterwards?

 

A lot of these injuries happen on swings.

[Orgfiller]

This season is a joke.

Anyone else have circus music playing in their head?

What a terrible run of injuries

There was a shot of George Poulos working on him after his AB in the 9th.

Not suggesting it would have made a difference. They had a doctor looking at him and still had him go out and play defence lol.

[BigCecil]

One would have to work very hard to conjure up a more disappointing season overall than 2017 so far.

The same thing happened to Dalton Pompey.

I broke both my hamates. Takes about 6 weeks to heal but your hand feels really weak for sometime after. But everyone's different

Ya broke both on the swing, made my hand curl up into a fist. They just remove it but there's a nerve that runs close to it that's affected

Might as well have a thread to complain in

 

[EdwinsParrot]

Just brutal. f*** this season.

[KevinGregg]

lots of outrage in this thread, but I have to ask - If Alford never gets his highly unlikely call-up and instead is injured in the minors, is everyone still as mad? Or is all the outrage just because of the extra service time? Personally I am much more annoyed that he might take 2 years to get his power back....

The service time thing is a very small factor. Mostly it just sucks that his year has been stolen by injuries, again.

This. If Alford had the same injury in the minors we'd all still be pissed off.

[SAAviour]

I'm just pissed because in a potentially wasted season, watching prospects try to adjust to majors is the best part...and we can't even have that!

Considering how many Blue Jay players have been injured taking mighty swings, maybe it is time to cut down on their swings; they only have to hit it out of the ball park, not hit it 500 feet. If Goins can hit 4 home runs with his swing, then a gargantuan swing is not required.
