NYY Wang done for season

[blackbart]

Wang broke his foot, and is too have surgery. this should end his and the yankee season.

[fiveteamer]

haha, pinny was offering yankees not to make the playoffs at like 2.40, was only up for a day a few weeks ago. Yankees are FIN.

[blackbart]

already thin starting pitching took a major hit. Look at the Jays or Rays futures.

[Willie Bee]

I'm guessing the Steinbrenners pull out their checkbook and go buy a replacement.

[WonTooManyBets]

Is there a link that says he's finished for the year?

The problem is that they don't have anyone to trade for. Unless a team is willing to pick up ARod for a couple pitcher starters.

[SBR Lou]

My heart seriously sank. Is this some kind of sick joke?

[Tsoprano]

Wow, the guy didnt look conditioned at all running home.

And wow did they have a great game 13-0 !!

[SBR Lou]

There goes the World Series.

No. The dude hasn't even had the MRI done on his foot yet. False information is great. Stuff I have read indicates the Yanks think it might be a Lis Franc injury which would be just as bad.

Says what others have said, scheduled for an MRI!

[SBR Lou]

It makes no sense to have AL pitchers even try to get a base hit or do anything other than bunt, they will expend energy if they do happen to get on base and you always run the risk of potential injuries. Not worth it, especially for your ace.

[McBa1n]

If the Yankees makie a move for Sabathia or something now... boy are they going to look stupid after blowing getting after Santana. They're going to have to do something.

[EaglesPhan36]

So the real prognosis is 6 weeks to start with because of a partially torn tendon not a broken foot like the slapdick who started this thread claimed.

Wang will be in a protective boot for six weeks. That’s July 28. He would need at least four weeks to get his arm back in shape to pitch - assuming that he is fully healed after six weeks.

This pretty much worst-case scenario for the Yankees. If Wang is not out for the season, he is out until at least September. Their options are to try and make up 18 or so starts internally or make a trade.

You have to assume he is out for the season. Six weeks in a boot means no playing catch, no conditioning. Even if he is fully healed by that point, it will take a while to get back in pitching shape.

[blackbart]

this slapdick got it off espn, who is now reporting the above, either way as pointed out it will be nearly all his season as this is too avoid surgery

[EaglesPhan36]

Slapdick, ESPN watcher, it's all the same.


I hate ESPN with the passion of a herpes blister.

[blackbart]

its all over the airwaves now, you can feel special cause you heard it here first, how about it do you feel special?

[EaglesPhan36]

No I would feel special if I worked for ESPN and ****ed up information as much as they do ... oh yeah, they don't do news, just entertainment. Forgot.
