Poor diagnosing by medical staff or advice from a agent just caused this player to miss a entire year of development.

“A agent”. You’d think you were an MLBTR writer.

Best comment I’ve seen.

What’s wr0ng with MLBTR’s writers? They do a very good job with grammar, punctuation, and clarity. I don’t see how anyone could criticize their writing skills, especially considering the high volume of detailed work they put out on short deadlines.
Now, if you mean MLBTR commenters, I quite agree with you. But that’ s not what you wrote.

Couldn’t agree more

Want me to reply to this thread with a link to every post from now on that has grammatical errors? And no, I’m referring to the posts themselves, not the comments. I’d say 1 in 3 posts I read (approximately) are posted with sometimes painfully obvious errors.

Yes, document and post all the “painfully obvious errors”. It will be fascinating reading for all those who prefer picking nits to enjoying baseball.
You could even be the next C.T. Onions (cf.), with all the lauds, honors, and favors that today’s society loves to bestow on erudition.
Or better yet, find another site.

Clearly poor value with those occasional minor grammatical errors as they write stuff up as it happens. I probably would have put commas or brackets/parentheses after ‘with’ and before ‘errors’ in your final sentence. Still, as I got your meaning I wouldn’t write a post all about it, that would be silly.

I don’t get this either. The injury occurred in August and has a 9 month rehab time, 5 months until baseball activities. That would put him resuming baseball activities in February (in time for minor league spring training, etc.), with a return to action around early June. The platelet rich injection approach with that timing seems to have offered no real benefit, especially a non-pitcher this early in his career. If it had worked you now have a player with a questionable elbow that may become aggravated and ultimately need surgery in the future, when he’s on a big league roster, being paid more, and earning service time.

In most cases rest and rehab is always option one. It’s rare when they go straight to surgery. Most of the time, as we’ve seen, surgery is inevitable because that first option fails.
Not saying that’s right or wrong, but that’s how it goes. Is it a routine surgery now? Yes, but it’s still surgery and doctors tend to only do that as a last resort. Kepler did rest and rehab and didn’t have the surgery. So far it’s been fine for him.
