So what's up with Huff?

[Stokes1931]

Wow dude. That is simply amazing. Do you even think? I can't believe you.






You have Huff on your fantasy team?

Don't be a this early in the game, Cal.

I don't do the fantasy thing. Wasted too many years as a youth playing Stratomatic leagues. Fantasy leagues are Stratomatic for a new millennium. And with $$$ involved.

Trying for snark, aimed for humor. Late afternoon at work. #EpicFail

I was making a HILARIOUS joke based on your post. I know my post was funny, because, as we all know, the best jokes are the ones that require explanation after-the-fact.

So there...

Giants place Aubrey Huff on DL due to anxiety - San Jose Mercury News

Looks like a little bit of both on and off field pressure. His wife filed for divorce in January.

Man, I'm not married but I've seen marriage/relationship issues take down even the strongest of men. I sort of wished his performance issues were simply due to old age and he could go retire off into the sunset like a champ after this season.

Huff has seemed like a highly strung guy. So, while I'm surprised by this news, I'm not shocked. I wonder how the team will accept this.....he did quit on the team, after all. Whether he's accepted back will tell us a lot about this team, and perhaps, the acceptance of acute mental health issues in general within baseball.

I was thinking about that today and trying to come up with another Giants player who suffered from mental illness issues.

Mike Ivie. Dude got so bad that they couldn't play him at the Stick...he could only get in to road games. It'll be interesting to see what happens with Huffer.

Didn't Andres Torres have anxiety issues that he medicated?

Ah yes.

Less of an issue. Maybe. What am I a doctor?

GAWD, I hope not...

Quit on the team? He did no such thing, dude is going through some real tough shit. I'm positive his teammates are pulling for him.

has Wilson quit on the team by leaving to have surgery?

Agreed and repped.

Heh, nice strawman. You must also think Wilson with a healthy arm is just the type of guy to text Bochy for off days.

Where do you guys find the picture of the rotating police light?

I don't agree that sfsf posted a strawman argument. I think he was simply drawing an analogy between one disability (elbow tendon) and another (anxiety).

A pretty good analogy if you ask me.

Did you see Wilson finish out the game after he tore his ucl? Didn't he pitch all of 2011 with a strained ucl?

I wonder if Huff would say he has a lot in common with Wilson. That for quite some time (including last year perhaps?) he has been trying to play through his anxiety/mental issues/family problems and has failed to perform while doing so.

Perhaps the wisest choice is to shut down for a while and allow himself to heal, just like he would do if he had a strained shoulder.
