Almora out with broken hamate

[phillyfan0417]

Guy is 18/19 years old - this is only delays his pro career a little bit, not derails it.

You can't say that.


Some come back and some struggle.

I forget what year, but Griffey broke his in the 90's.

2006 offseason, I believe. And yes, I looked it up because I have never heard of a hamate. Griffey and a bunch of other ballplayers have had theirs removed, as well.

 

[Junior Griffey]

June of 1996. He ran into a wall trying to make a catch.

Maybe, but Almora is still a teen - if he was in his mid 20's or older, maybe there would be cause for some 'doom and gloom' concern.

I was at that game! I thought I read 2006 but I must've been mistaken. That catch was my first guess, even.

FWIW Griffey broke the hamate in 96 fouling off a pitch. In 95 he ran into the wall making the catch and broke his wrist.

 

[Junior Griffey]

Oh I must have read the article wrong.

Well, from 1996 to 1999 Griffey hit 49, 56, 56, and 48 home runs so it must be possible to retain a little bit of pop in the bat after this injury.

It is very possible....

The hamate is one of the small bones in the wrist. It's got a very poor vascular supply and therefore rarely heals properly. That type of injury can linger a long time.

Wow. Never thought I'd use my background as a physical therapist in this forum!

No. Bautista had an issue with a tendon in his wrist. I never got the details about exactly what happened but apparently it was something with the tendon not tracking properly in it's sheath. They said only one other MLB'er had the same surgery Jose had to reconstruct it.

So...I guess I'm stuck with this because I don't do prospecting correctly? (sell before the guy gets a serious injury)
