Well, Perez has a partially torn UCL and can try rest and rehab and be out for 2 months if that works or he can undergo season ending Tommy John surgery. Harrison has a displacement of vertebra and may need spinal fusion surgery which could end his career.

He has opted for the Tommy John Surgery… So 2 more down! Is our farm club ready?

I'm not too concerned about the pitching, yeah it sucks losing your #2 guy but I was never sold on Harrison after surgery. Darvish is still solid, Colby is decent and will tough it out. You could do a lot worse than Baker, Tepesch, Ross and Martinez as the back end of your rotation.

Round Rock has a couple of guys that can fill in, Cory Burns and Matt West. Wilmer Font is ready in Frisco and Luke Jackson could be added to the roster if it gets really desperate. That and there are plenty of teams that'd love to have Odor or Sardinas, we have some good trade bait.

The problem is our lack of offense. If you can only score 1-2 runs a game you aren't going to have a winning record.

Hell Just 1!!!!

Well said... I'm still going to as many games as possible and pulling for them. Hopefully the bats wake up... Would hate to pay Prince as much as we are for him to not do anything.

I'm afraid that this could be a long summer unless something changes quickly. Yea our starting rotation has been hammered, but our bats are quiet as hell.

Prince Fielder is out for the next two games with a herniated disc, won't require surgery.

I can't wait to see him bust out his knuckle ball.

Arencibia was just sent down and they called up Chris Gimenez from Round Rock. An improvement for sure!

[BP]

Fielder is out again today and isn't flying to Detroit with the team. Not that it matters, we are facing Chris Young today and he'll probably pitch a 1 hit shutout. It's Darvish tomorrow against Detroit's fill in starter so if we can manage to score a run we might win. Then it's Baker vs Sanchez and Martinez vs Porcello. I don't like our chances in either of those.

Doesn't matter, he's probably going to end up just like Hamilton.

I don't think hell be that bad. At least he's out there giving a damn. He runs to first base, dosent jog. So I'll give him some credit.

[BP]

Doesn't matter, he's probably going to end up just like Hamilton.

Based solely on genetics and not taking into account modern medicine, training and a field that caters to him he should still be good for 30+ homeruns and 80-90 rbis a season until he's 35. He turned 30 two weeks ago, he'll be a free agent in 2021.

Fielder wants to play every day and he gives 100%. Hamilton takes himself out of games when he's feeling dizzy or drinks too many Red Bulls. We're paying Fielder $19m a season, the Angels are paying Hamilton an average of $26.5 for the next 4 seasons.

Compare Fielder to guys like Teixeira, Pujols, Votto and Napoli and he's worth the money/risk. His dad was a very good player into his mid 30s and wasn't groomed from birth to be a ball player. He may not put up hall of fame numbers but we also aren't paying him Cabrera or Pujols money either.
