The 430 Million Dollar Man

"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can replace that shattered calf with a new, improved, bionic one. In fact, we can rebuild his whole aging body and transform it into a sleek, powerful hitting and fielding machine, to play every day and carry the Angels to the playoffs and beyond! He'll never get hurt again on a baseball field. The Angels will get a real return on their investment."

"But Mr. Goldman, he merely strained that calf while jogging back to the dugout after a routine third out fly ball. No need for such drastic measures."

"Nonsense! Nobody takes three months for a little muscle pull with no timetable for his return. This young man is falling apart and we need to do something now! We're going to get him back on the field by next week once we're finished with him. Have him report to me immediately. This is a national security priority!"

"Sir, how about Upton? Can we do something there?"

"No, he's hopeless. Just DFA the bum, along with much of the bullpen."

"I didn't know you were such a fan, Mr. Goldman."

"Well, you can't root for the Dodgers. That would be Un-American."

I hear weed is good for soft tissue injuries: reduces pain, allows for complete relaxation and for the person tosee things differently.  He could also do yoga/meditation.  Perhaps both.

Too intense to allow the calf to heal?

This is getting ridiculous, THREE months.

I think something else is going on here. Not just the injury. He could just be tired of the Angels not doing what other teams(dodgers) do to better their ball clubs. Like spend money for quality pitching.

If this is Mike's way of trying to get a trade, he's doing a good job.

Endless recovery. Drive the front office crazy until they cry "Uncle!"

Do the Halos even have a medical staff?

That tire weighs over 100 pounds and he fills it with 300 pounds of weights. Look at those calfs and the extremes they must endure. Why in the world does he need to do this??

I think he needs to go where Ohtani trained in the offseason.  Driveline

That's what they call themselves. Time to varify medical licenses!

Maybe he should buy some Nugenix that Big Frank is peddling? Or maybe some of that crap Tom Brady's company is selling?
