What about Ellsbury, when's he coming back?

What about Ellsbury, when's he coming back?

After six months of rehabbing in Tampa from numerous injuries, Ellsbury had arthroscopic surgery Monday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York to repair a torn labrum in his left hip, the Yankees announced Tuesday afternoon.

Recovery time is six months, which should have Ellsbury healthy for the start of 2019 spring training.

Going to be extremely interesting to see if they pick up Gardner's option. At this point, it looks less likely every day. If they can't do something with Ellsbury, that may end up being the decider, since they still owe him $47M at a minimum.

I can't imagine them picking it up, I'd be insanely dissapointed. Even if not Frazier, which I expect it would be, cheaper and much better alternative should be easily obtainable

More interesting to me, can they possibly, actually, realistically, enter 2019 with Greg Bird again penciled in? Or are they in on a Moosetacos type player? Do they include Bird in a deal? ( I know his value is shot)

Gotta figure they let Gardner walk. Judge, Stanton, Hicks, Frazier. At some point they're going to realize Dirty Sanchez is more the every day DH type than the catcher and Stanton is going to have to see more time in the outfield.

They'll still have Voit and Bird, so I wouldn't be surprised if they go into '19 with a platoon there. The 2019 FA 1b class is pretty underwhelming, outside of Justin Smoak, I guess-he's having a pretty meh walk year. Not sure I'd want to go long term with him.

Haven't you heard? He's lost 20+ lbs! It's the new and improved Gary Sanchez!

I tuned out of last nights game when Stanton missed a fly ball Judge would have caught with his back pocket

He's reminding me of A-Rod lately with the pressing for the milestone HR. I hope he hits it soon, because we need that bat back yesterday.

Funny enough Arod cannot stop talking bout just that Sunday night

And to think he was robbed of it a week ago

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Judge says he will return with the broken wrist

Freddie Freeman last to do that with same injury

Was painful waiting for him to hit #500. Seemed like he was stuck on 499 for a month.

Stanton is starting to give me flashbacks.

Yeah...kind of not up to him.

I'd be shocked if the Yanks let him back before a Doc gives the green light.

Which is stupid cause no one really cares about 300

Well you know what they do with good hitting catchers to extend their careers? Transition to 1st base. Win-win.

I'd be all for it if Sanchez was 35 or even 30. But he's still only 25. Much like Greg Bird's swing, I continue to dream on that rocket right arm of his. If only he wasn't so damn lazy behind the plate.

Isn't a torn hip labrum one of the classic PEDs injuries?
It was very suspicious when he broke out with that sudden 30+ HR season with the Bosox....

That's impossible.....No Red Sox player ever cheated......

Ted Williams used to heat his bats in a dryer, that's probably illegal.
I think Tris Speaker tried to fix a game with Ty Cobb, but he might have been with the Indians then.

Other than that, yeah, never happened.
