15 Day DL? And I am a Camel.



 
Clarke Schmidt has been having the best season of his MLB baseball career. 

He does have a history, as many do, of injuries and time spent on R&R.  So this " ding" is not unexpected. 

The diagnosis the Yankees have given us  ( " lat strain") is pablum for the dumb.   He will be on the 60 day DL as soon as the paper work can be filed.  

Truth be told;  if he does not require surgery ( still in doubt ) , we won't see him game-ready until September. 

This is a huge blow to our starting rotation.  Clark has been terrific. 

Cole won't be fully fit  until late June.  And if you think I have no concerns about the long term efficacy of his " rest " cure, you think me naive. 

The guy.we are bringing up ( 29 year old Cody Poteet ), as our fill-in, emergency starter,  has been fighting a " blister."  If he plays his way through that in his next start with the yankees, he'll be soaking his hand in pickle brine for a month. I would like to assume he is already fine with the blister ( it put him on IR ).  But do I trust the Yankees not to abuse an asset?  No comment. 

The worry may legitimately begin, folks.

    It sure does turn heads and causes whiplash like displacements amongst the local populace.
