Any news as to why it's taken him a year and a half to recover from a broken ankle?
I thought it was just that he was slow to heal. Scar tissue developed in there and he had a procedure in the middle of the season to clean it up.
I know people are always optimistic, but in the spring last year, they kept saying he was close to being b ack, and was dropping bombs in BP. It was just a problem of running the bases and stepping on the bag. It was painful moving around, so they didnt want to get him back out there until that was gone. Obviously it kept going and the second surgery to clean it up was needed.
I think people are a lot more positive and realistic about him this year. He really should be ready to go by spring this season. Hes actually a guy I wouldnt mind trying to get if we can. The upside is ridiculous, and hes in his prime.
