The medical staff still stinks:
Strain is a tear. It’s always been a tear, it’ll always be a tear. What is important is if Kieboom complained of pain and they diagnosed a grade 2 as a grade 1. Although I can’t imagine Kieboom is so tough he could play through a grade 2 strain.
If you read the article it goes into that.
He does say Kieboom is fully healed.
Like Zim is every year?
everyone is in the best shape of their life when they arrive at spring training,
You would think but that's not a given. People get injured every month of the year and they have lingering issues from the past season(s).
I'm being facetious
That’s brutal if they missed a tear.
A strain is also a stretch or tear, but it happens in a muscle or a tendon. Tendons link muscles to the bones.
Strain: Muscle or tendon injuryA strain is the overstretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon, which are the fibers that connect the muscles to the bones. ...Tear: Ligament, muscle or tendon injuryTears are the ripping of fibrous tissue that can occur in the ligaments, muscles or tendons from similar activities that cause fibers to overstretch, but the diagnosis is more serious and muscle and tendon tears could take multiple months to heal. “Typically, the worse a tear, the more inflammation and pain a person will experience, and the longer it will take for the injury to heal,” Mufich said.
What article? The only citation was a tweet.
What, then, does Kieboom need to show this spring? He needs to show continued comfort in the field. But more importantly, he needs to show a more aggressive and productive approach at the plate.Though he impressively didn’t chase many pitches out of the zone last season - he drew 17 walks in 122 plate appearances - Kieboom often was too patient, letting good fastballs go early in the count. Manager Davey Martinez wants him to be more aggressive and go after those pitches and not leave himself in so many two-strike counts.“For me, it’s about getting back to who you are and don’t try to make big adjustments. Just make very simple adjustments,” Martinez said at season’s end. “That’s something we talked about, and he’s going to work on this winter: Just keep it simple. You hit before. You’re going to hit again.”
easier to find a third baseman than good starting pitchers
My question is why is it pretty much common public knowledge that Rizzo is open to trading Kieboom if he's the long term solution at 3B vs the likes of Rutledge, Cavalli and Cate.
Because they won it all in 2019 and was the oldest team in baseball. And the horses that brought them there and will still be on the roster in 2021 (except Soto) are getting older.
Soto is not getting older? Nice.
Lol, you know what i mean. The decline of Max is likely sooner than Soto leaving via FA
It's not, but okay
Which is exactly my point. They don't have the benefit to wait 2 years to see what Carter is. Which again leads me back to my point. If Rizzo did see Kieboom as opening day/all 2021 season 3B, why is Nats twitter all reporting that he's readily available via trade.
