Troy "Glass Bones" Tulowitzki to 60 day DL. FFS

[Jimcanuck]

Donaldson with dead arm is scary. I have experience with dead arm. Mine never came back.

 

Can afford to extend him now..... as a DH.

 

A nice complement to Vladdy and the others.

Tulowitzki will undergo surgery on both of his feet later this week to remove the bone spurs. #BlueJays

Tulowitzki and the #BlueJays consulted with five specialists over the offseason, three in-person evaluations. Atkins says he could be back in 8 weeks...

On both of his feet lol, wow this guy is some kind of injury prone.

Maybe we should be looking at making Tulo the DH when he comes back (he can still play MI once or twice a week to spell others).

[Jonn]

Can the Blue Jays not collect any insurance on his contract. Hes such an anchor on this franchise.

LOL Tulo's glass body got the doctors confused. Such a black spot on this roster.

I think most teams don't insure contracts anymore (or if they do it would only cover a career ending injury, not smaller stuff).

And even if they did, a company insuring Tulo would be insane. At this point it's no longer about how many games he will miss due to injury, but rather how many games he might be able to play.

[saskjayfan]

Tulo should have had the surgery a month ago. The fact that he didn't see this specialist until the end of spring training is pathetic.

I assume the insurance would be bought at the time the contract was signed, not on a year to year basis.

I get the feeling he is not happy in toronto, I could be wrong though, my gut has been wrong before.

Gut feelings tend to be wrong.

No s***. Nothing gets past you bro.

To clarify Tulowitzki timeline: Atkins says that right heel bone spurs were original issue. Conservative treatment was chosen for those after consultations with specialists. More recently, left heel also became an issue. At that point, treatment strategy changed. #BlueJays

Career is done, he will never contribute anything useful to baseball ever again (on the field). Would be easy to shrug it off but his salary is big and Diaz/Ngope for 162 is just.. cringeworthy.

[bones10]

Probably one of the most injury prone athletes ever huh?

[Dotelsbruisedbananna]

The timeline is also very interesting, like he turns into a brutal baseball player and then all of a sudden (after the fact) starts getting hurt all the time. With this injury too, all off-season all spring to see this "specialist" and nothing and then on opening day its announced, 60 day DL.

 

Personally, and IDGAF what others think, I think he just wants to eliminate the number of craptacular years on the back of his bubble gum card or has lost interest. There is more going on than we see for sure anyways.

He apparently saw 5 different specialists in the offseason.

Or, the the chronic injury issues have been responsible for his decline in production.

He said he doesn't give a f*** what anyone thinks.

Every year I'm hopeful that the new crop of in-season newbs will be better than season's past. I'm constantly disappointed.

At least usually one or two good ones break through the cracks. There's a couple of those this year as well who don't make you hate humanity.
