Giancarlo had a hamate injury back in 2015 and was out 4-6 weeks

From an article on Stanton's injury back then...

Quote:

Marlins backup infielder Jeff Baker knows a little about the injury, as he has suffered it in the past as well. Baker believes the recovery could be even faster.

"I've seen guys coming back anywhere from 2 1/2 weeks to six weeks," Baker said. "I had surgery. The biggest thing is you have the wound heal. After that, it's a pain tolerance thing, and you're good to go."

"You have to have it removed," Baker said. "They take it out. There is no strengthening, no therapy. I don't say this lightly, but if you're going to break something in your hand, the hamate is going to be the way to go."

That hurt just a little bit. Take the pain for an amazing catch.

You probably need someone to forward you the live link to the presale if its not on the Astros website. If you PM me your email or drop it in this thread I can forward it to you.

If you request 2 best available and it puts SRO in your cart just hit replace and try again. There are still tix available in actual seats.

Anyone planning on going to any away games this season?

I'm thinking we may try and head out for a quick vacation to SF and catch the afternoon game there.

Scooped up some behind home to take my old man for his birthday. Tampa on a Tuesday night was actually reasonable.

Is AJ Reed the new Singleton? 12 AB's this spring, with 1 hit and 7 K's. It's still early, but geez...
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Minus the big contract and weed problem.

Thank God we signed Yuli and he was able to make the change to 1B because with misses on Singleton, Reed, and White we'd be screwed without La Pina.

I'll be at the Twins series in April since I live here, and will likely be driving to Chicago for the series with the White Sox shortly after that.

DEN would be a good trip to do.

I'd like to go to a game in MIN but not sure the wife would buy off on that one.

I'm travelling to South Florida next week for work. I'll be able to maneuver my schedule so I can go to the game on either Monday or Wednesday.

Anyone have any tips for best possible experience? I haven't been to a Spring Training game since about 15 years ago.

White was a 33rd round draft pick with less than a 5% chance of ever reaching the big leagues. The guy has already overachieved and is far from a miss.

Reed was phenomenal in the minors in 2015 and put up good numbers at Fresno in 2016. His struggles at the big league level in 2016 seemed to have thrown him off course. He's still only 24, though. I'd just like to see him show more dedication to the game and drop a considerable amount of weight.

Singleton...
