There's radio silence on Trout. No updates, no statements. He's obviously not returning this year, and really, what's the true extent of this injury? Four months now, and no news. Strange.

It is a bit strange but I fully expect Trout and Rendon to be ready for Spring Training.

Maybe there’s radio silence because there’s nothing new to report or the fact that communicating with the consumer isn’t that important, we pretend it is but that’s fans wanting to be more involved than consumers are in any other industry.

Rendon seems to be constantly injured, so who knows how many games he'll play.

Trout's calf injury appears to be more serious than the Angels are admitting. Who knows if he'll be sore for a long time to come.

Anecdotal, but my younger brother tore his calf two years ago playing basketball and he's still in pain. The doctor prescribed pain meds and said he couldn't really do anything more about it. 

There's radio silence on Trout. No updates, no statements. He's obviously not returning this year, and really, what's the true extent of this injury? Four months now, and no news. Strange.

 

Was it a grade 2 or grade 3 tear for your brother?   If grade 3, did he bypass surgery?
