Where was his previous fusion done?

I think ther was a repair at the same level but do not remember there being fused vertebrates. Rare to go back in after that

If I'm not mistaken, all "insurance" means is that we won't pay him as much as we would have otherwise. We don't get off scott free.

We won't, it only covers 50% if he's inactive more than 90 days

No. It was fused. I remember that for sure.

Rangers' Fielder has fusion surgery on neck

It was C5-C6 that was fused. As is often the case, fusion has beget more fusions. He needs to realize he's going to wind up with his whole neck fused if he doesn't give it up. Each level above and below the fusions will break down because he had to get the motion from somewhere.

Yes it was a fusion for sure, and whatever is done will be adjacent to the previous fusion

Just looked up and was a different level per one report so stand corrected How can a guy swing with a multi level fusion? Just don't see that

His body will try to get the motion from the segments above and below and will eventually blow those disks too. He needs to quit while he's ahead.

Exactly why I have chosen not to have my L1 and L2 fused at this point, or anything other than injections for that matter

Not sure if that's 50% of the total 24 million, or just of what we owe him next year (18 million) as the policy was transferred over from the Tigers

So, potentially, of his 24 million next year, 6 million will be covered by the Tigers, 9-12 million by insurance, and 6-9 million by the Rangers

You do a core stengthening exercise program?

Honestly, I can live with that.

Just need to make sure he's inactive more than 90 days next year, don't see how anyone can dispute that he's too injured to play with potentially 2 neck fusions

I hate Crisp soooooo much

Y JTA I'm so surprised at you

Man Davis is killing us this year.

 

[jta4437]

Profar, Odor, and Maz the only LHHs in there, nice to see Banny finally able to play the best lineups according to the splits

 

[jta4437]

Darvish also needs to pull his head out of his ass

 

[romeo212000]

Put that fucking curve ball away until you can get it down, Darvish.

 

[jta4437]

Darvish either throws a great CB or a shit one, so hit or miss

 

[jta4437]

Good job Profar, especially against a LHP
