CJ Wilson and Tyler Skaggs likely to start season on DL

The Angels don't necessarily have eight starters fighting for five spots on the Opening Day rotation.

 

It's basically down to six now.

 

Tyler Skaggs, easing his way back from Tommy John surgery, and C.J. Wilson, recovering from a brief bout with shoulder tendinitis, seem likely to begin the regular season on the disabled list, though the Angels are hopeful that they can be ready at some point in April.

And so it begins.

[Angelsjunky]

**** this shit.

[disarcina]

and so it begins is right.

we've seen this movie before.........

[laagamer]

Who the **** is Tyler Skaggs? 

[JAHV76]

Yep it's called MASH

[ScottT]

Kinda surprising that Skaggs won't be ready.  He's approaching 19 months since surgery.  He won't be throwing 200 innings anyway, so no big deal.

 

The Angels need production from at least one of these pitchers if they are going to compete.

That's odd. I remember reading skaggs was ahead of schedule. 

 

Skaggs went through a regimented throwing program last season, mixing in periods of rest and recovery with his progression from catch to long-toss to throwing off a mound. A six-inning, 90-pitch simulated game in Arizona in October was a final exam of sorts.

"My arm felt great and my stuff was crisp," said Skaggs, who was acquired from Arizona before 2014. "I felt really good, honestly. I'm ready to roll. I'm really looking forward to showing them what I can do."

I expected him to start the year in the minors, but could be counted on if needed right away.

No big deal

[nando714]

We have this worst training staff / rehab staff ....

....Still

They're probably want Skaggs to finish the season and pitch in the playoffs by limiting his innings up front instead of cutting him off in Sept.

Makes sense because we're definitely going to need him.

Business as usual, then

Yeah. Wasn't like he was going to be in the rotation to start the year anyway

Hey nooooooooooow!......... Let's just see him throw in a regular season game before you start tossing Playoffs around here......

Seenoevil seems to be in a giving mood right now.

Seems like an easy enough way to stash a couple of starters without using options. One is going to be on an innings limit anyway and the other is likely mid season trade bait.

[JoJo26]

So now we finish behind Seattle too?

Baseball players take the longest to recover from injurys & they get overpaid the most.

They crack a finger nail & their out a month, they break a leg they miss 2 seasons(Morales).

I have no opinion on CJ Wilson's current physical status, but something isn't quite right with the way the Angels are handling Tyler Skaggs.

 

This isn't a situation where they are being cautious bringing him back after 12 months. He has rehabilitated perfectly for the past 18 months. Already very methodical.

 

Are the Angels using the DL to stash Skaggs? Unless they aren't releasing some information, Skaggs should be pitching on a Spring Training mound this weekend.

[Oz27]

lol CJ.

I imagine the Skaggs thing will just be a way to get him maybe 3 starts at SLC before he gets brought up.

[mota_madness]

Skaggs = Trade

Don't you remember the Stephen Strasburg fiasco of a few years back? If you're putting a pitcher on an innings limit then save them for the end of the season. Don't be a Rizzo-level dumbass.

Wasn't Harvey on a innings count last season too?  Didn't work well there either.  Then again, the commonality between Harvey and Strasburg....Boras.

At least Harvey made it to the postseason. Strasburg had to sit and watch his team fall apart.
