Tough break

I do naught doubt he will need TJ surgery.

There goes my dream of hearing Gubie mis-pronounce his name "Naughty Packton" when he makes his first appearance.

But we don’t need Odorizzi. All our starters will stay healthy all year.

Crap, our #11 starter is injured.

It’s just a matter of time before he is joined by our 2, 3, 5, and 6.

Don't be dumb. 

He's not even on the 40 man roster.

The problem it it seems the angels try to be conservative with all these ulnar strains.  They squeeze out 2 years of suboptimal results and ir stints.  Then they get TJ.  I wonder what the percentage of pitchers who present with a grade 1 strain ultimately get TJ.  If it’s as high as I suspect, just do it now.

He's Naughton the 40 man.

Angels will end up getting Naughton for the Goodwin trade.

Didn't Goodwin sign a minor league contract?

That's the thing so many fans seem to miss... we trade low value assets for pitching and then act like it's bad luck when all these guys get hurt.

Exactly.  Goodwin is just a guy.  Pretty much every team has 1 or 2 OFers similar to him floating around in their system.  I think people have slightly overvalued him just because he was one of "our" guys for a while.  (Yes, I'm aware of how high he was drafted and that he was a former top 100 prospect... I'm talking about actual production...)

I didn’t know we had a sports medicine expert here at AW.

Been here 5 minutes and even know this site only has doctors, professional scouts, and aspiring GMs.
