Silseth to resume throwing soon, Bachman having back spasms & isn't throwing

Anthony Rendon is listed as receiving daily treatment. He will "be treated conservatively."

Does that mean he has no health care benefits?

Hot damn Bachman was a shitty pick.

Back issues suck.

I can't remember. Did he come with injury concerns on draft day?

"Many believe Bachman's combination of a 100 mph fastball and plus slider will allow him to move quickly through the minors as a reliever. Bachman dealt with injuries at times during his career, and he never went past the seventh inning during a start this season, adding to the chatter about him ending up in the bullpen."

Hard to imagine Bachman ever becoming anything. We'll probably all forget about him and he'll eventually resurface somewhere else and maybe have a decent year or two as a reliever. But no way he becomes a starter.

The Bachman pick was stupid from day 1. His ceiling was clearly a closer, with the most likely optimistic outcome an 8th inning guy. Not someone you should draft in the 1st.

Good thing the Angels delayed Bachman’s start of the season to “manage his innings.”

Everything related to Bachman has been moronic. The pick in the first place, moving him to the pen, Nevin overusing him in a short stint, “managing” his innings.

He’s the new C-Rod, unless something drastically changes.

He’ll stick around for a few more seasons and then unceremoniously be gone.

I had Rocker above Bachman on my own board, but Bachman is a good pick. The only question here with Sam is if he's a major league closer or a major league ace. There isn't much in between. 

He hits 101 on the gun, sits 97-98, comfortably for 5-ish innings. And there condensed about him being a reliever are overblown because guess what, he's got a killer change up too. He just never needed it.

The biggest question is how many strikes he'll throw, that's really it.

This regime has not been great at scouting or drafting.

Yeah, I think Sam Bachman has closer type stuff, for sure. If you don’t, then you haven’t been watching for very long.

Your post said that there was no "in between," that he'd either be an ace or a closer, and that the biggest question was whether he'd throw strikes, completely ignoring the injury concerns.  Could he still turn into an effective closer?  Yeah, maybe.  It might help if he could actually stay on the field first. 

[tdawg87]

The best closers are failed starters. But obviously yeah, gotta at least be able to not get injured.

Yeah there likely isn’t a whole lot of in between. I said the same thing this year about Ben Joyce. Either he’s healthy and throwing strikes and dominates, or he simply doesn’t. I don’t envision Bachman or Joyce being your typical middle reliever. 
 

All that depends on health though. If they aren’t healthy, there’s no equation. 
 

And to Bachman’s credit, still no major arm injuries or anything. It’s just everything else that seems to be falling apart.

No one from that 2021 draft class is exactly setting the league on fire. Bachman's still 24 and has plenty of team control left to make an impression
