Partial UCL Tear for J.C. Ramirez

[totdprods]

Had a stem-cell injection - almost a carbon copy of what Richards went through.

Per Pedro Moura on Twitter.

[Angel Oracle]

I hope it works.

Can we please now acquire/draft/sign pitchers who will stay healthy enough ultimately?

[AngelsLakersFan]

It's like Dan Del La Rosa part 2

[AngelsLakersFan]

Also isn't much of a surprise when you consider the insane increase in workload this year... which is a hallmark of arm injury risk.

[GrittyVeterans]

Christ. Guy was having a pretty good year too. Shame

[totdprods]

With Meyer and Ramirez now both pretty doubtful for '18, I can't see how pitching wouldn't be on the menu this offseason.

Ramirez can come back early next year, if the Richards cure works. Richards was unlucky when came back and a new injury, nerve damage but his elbow was fine.

1-1 in ninth in Minnesota.

Pitching will be on the menu this offseason.

Question is, which garbage ass journeymen are we going to go after because we don't want to open the bank for Arrieta or Darvish?

I had two Tabs open and screwed up.

It seems like they didn't have a plan for him other than just to let him go until his arm fell off.  Too many innings this year.  He's toast, never gonna see him do anything special again.

these are both pretty awesome, in their own way.

Right, and we can hope that happens, but the platelet injection has been mixed in success before, and even if he does come into ST healthy, I would think it would be best to treat his '18 workload with caution. Counting on him for 20-25 starts would be a bit presumptuous - we were lucky we got that out of him this year considering how he hadn't started since 2011.

I'm telling you....9 starters going 1 inning a piece every night. That's the best we can hope for.

When he first left the game with an injury what did the Angels say regarding his injury? It always starts with something that may cause him to miss one start and morphs into see him in 2 years.

They were pretty mum - they never really painted it as a day-to-day short term thing. To me, I pretty much assumed their silence meant it was going to be severe.

[Angel Oracle]

He should still be able to pitch up to 170-180 innings, since he approached 150 innings this season.

There is a lot of truth to that statement.

[jgimondo]

I would like to see Noe Ramirez get a shot as a starter.

i think we're all for this, buddy, but how do you go about evaluating someone for "won't get a serious arm injury in the future."?

[Jeff Fletcher]

I spoke to Eppler and he had a slightly different interpretation. (Second note.)
