If Simba's ankle is broken and Shohei is out for awhile, does Arte let Eppler trade away whatever he can and let the young guys play?

No one to trade, (maybe Stella or calhoun) but yes bring on the young guys

If Ohtani is out for an extended period then Albert and Bour will just have to step up their game. No prob.

 

Oh what the hell am I saying?!

Forget Bour. Bring up Thais or Ward.  Rotate Walsh, Thais/ward and Pujols at 1b and DH.

How the hell would you know?  

While in college I got a PhD in ankle injuries.  He is out for at least a month and could be for the season.

Season over

If history tells us anything it's that Cozart will get hurt sooner rather than later and we may get a chance to see Walsh, Rengifo, Fletcher, and Ward/Thaiss around the infield with La Stella at DH. I'm looking forward to it

In a perfect world, Cozart heats up and plays good SS (not sure he'll ever be what he was offensively in 17 but he can play SS pretty well)....somebody in need of a SS gets antsy at the trade deadline and we save a year and a half on his deal...

update on both players this morning:

[IIIII]

Just noticed (through reddit) that Pro Football Doc said this about the injury "By video, left inversion (low) ankle sprain. Expect 10 day IL but avoid 60 day IL". He is typically very close to correct about these type of things. I.e. he predicted Luck would be out for the year when no one else did. Let's hope he is spot on again.

More than 10 days, less than 60?   That’s a pretty large spot to be able to sit on.  

[Jay]

Anything 60 days or less would be great considering what I saw in those pictures.

Will this org's luck ever change for the better???????????

I will bet a years salary he is out a lot longer than 10 days.  I stand by my original post your looking at a month minimum

[arch stanton]

It says expect 10 day IL not 10 days on IL

[IIIII]

It would be good news if he isn’t placed on the 60 and they think he can recover before then.
