Mike Trout to DL with UCL tear in thumb - Surgery needed. Out 6-8 Weeks

[Ender]

The fuck is with all the injuries this season? The Mariners pitching staff is dead. I know the Angels staff has its problems. Now Trout.

 

A lot of other teams have shit on the DL too.

Yep. I posted a thread a week or two ago on this. 

It's F'n ridiculous with all the injuries this year.

Good bye to MVP?

Why isn't Trout wearing one of those penguin looking sliding gloves I've been seeing popping up for people on base?

Trout shouldn't have even been sliding on that play. Again, a pretty freak play.

i put on MLB network 50 minutes ago and the 3 bozos on air haven't said a single word about Trout. 

That was likely because it was MLB Network's Monday night game. If they had talked about Trout being out, no one would have stuck around to watch it (not that anybody would have continued watching long once they heard about it).

When you're having an amazing 3-day weekend only to see this news on the website.

...and what's worse, the wrong guys are getting injured.

The guys who can't hit or pitch are irritatingly healthy.

Angels will go 0 and whatever, proving trout's value.  MVP #3 on it's way.  It's brilliant

[Docwaukee]

I only had one reason to watch.  Now I have none.  

So I'll watch for no reason.

Has anyone noticed that Skaggs was transferred to the 60-day?

We'll never see him again.

if everything had gone well, we had an outside shot at the playoffs. that's now gone.

I'm sure that a lot will be hitting the market very soon. Play your cards right and you will be able to attend an entire series for $10.

We assumed he might be smart enough after 20 years of baseball to not slide in headfirst.  Our bad.

I just read 5-8 weeks if he needs surgery, so basically 30-45 games, or maybe after the ASB.

Obligatory it will be like getting....

[fan_since79]

Does everyone here realize that when the Angels say 5-8 weeks, you can easily add a month to that?

[Sully151]

Does this mean we won't hear about Trout trades, extensions, or singning with the Phillies, Yankees, or anyone else for the next 5-8 weeks?

Especially after seeing Hamilton tear up his hand doing it.

I thought immediately after the play that it would come to this. Torn ligament all the way.

Thats what i was thinking. Now we can name him injury prone, and drive his market down

No, it just means the thread title will now start with "When Trout returns from the DL......."

With the new CBA teams no longer lose first draft pick if signing FA. Teams over the luxury tax threshold lose 2 and 5 draft pick and $1M in international bonus money. Teams under the threshold lose no draft pick. Teams losing a QO player to FA only get a supplemental pick if signs a contract of $50M or more.

Thanks, I forgot about that.

If anything this should be a wake up call.  Having so many eggs in one basket is a bad plan, and whoever signs him to a 400MM contract is taking a huge risk.  Look at the history of monster contracts.  Most don't end well  A team with as many needs, and as sad a farm, as us are in no position to take that kind of risk.

Four years.
