March 13, 20188 yr Frisaro in a reply to someone commenting on one of his tweets said that Chen is nowhere near ready right now and wont be ready for opening day with the same fucking issue he's had for going on the 3rd year. If he would have gotten the surgery the second he needed it he would be nearly a year removed from returning from TJ surgery and we might have been able to make a playoff run last year with another quality SP. Now, yet again, he is feeling elbow discomfort and still is trying to do the rehab thing. How is this still going on 2 years later. He literally suffered this initial injury nearly 6 months before Jose died. Is there anything the team can do to make him get the surgery or is this just a guy who is gonna make his money and not make an effort to come back? Ive always been a pro-player guy in almost all scenarios, but this is flat out ridiculous at this point.
March 13, 20188 yr This is something I have mentioned previously. Judging from the information I have read he is perhaps the most selfish player I have ever seen. Not only is his money guaranteed but he insists on not having surgery. I understand waiting the first time but when it came up again last season there was no reason to not have surgery. He could have been 6-8 months into TJ recovery at this point and hopefully primed to help this team for the final 2.5 years of his deal. Guess not.
March 13, 20188 yr Chen (more than any other player in MLB) deserves to be booed at home during his outings. He’s a disgrace to professional sports.
March 13, 20188 yr There's got to be a way to nullify that contract because of this. He can't perform, and he's not making an effort to...
March 13, 20188 yr If you could get $10,000,000 to do literally nothing, wouldn't you? Yes, but it seems like he’s the only player who’s found a way to do this.
March 13, 20188 yr Any evidence that he rejected to the TJ surgery and it's not the decision from the front office to hold off the surgery !?
March 13, 20188 yr Chen (more than any other player in MLB) deserves to be booed at home during his outings. He’s a disgrace to professional sports. In this theory,every player with BIG contract that played bad or injured all deserved to be BOOED.
March 13, 20188 yr Any evidence that he rejected to the TJ surgery and it's not the decision from the front office to hold off the surgery !? Why would they? In this theory,every player with BIG contract that played bad or injured all deserved to be BOOED. No, just the selfish ones.
March 13, 20188 yr If you could get $10,000,000 to do literally nothing, wouldn't you? He didn't steal those money and just earned that by his hard work.
March 13, 20188 yr Why would they? No, just the selfish ones. If a player got the right to reject any surgery that needed and would continue to get paid then everybody would do it and not only "Chen" would do it.
March 13, 20188 yr Can we just release him? I know the team would still have to pay, but I’d pay for him to not be on the roster anymore.
March 13, 20188 yr Can we just release him? I know the team would still have to pay, but I’d pay for him to not be on the roster anymore. I'm in favor of this. Just make believe it was part of the purchase price of the team and move on.
March 13, 20188 yr If a player got the right to reject any surgery that needed and would continue to get paid then everybody would do it and not only "Chen" would do it. Absolutely not-Most athletes do whatever they can to correct an injury and want to earn what they are paid for. Of course, this excludes doing anything that is a serious health risk but the majority of surgical procedures are designed to at least allow an athlete to perform his/her best. The average person can forgo a knee procedure or a rotator cuff surgery and rehab it sufficiently to go on with their lives, but an elite athlete often needs to do more if they want to continue to play at the level necessary. This appears to be the Chen factor.
March 13, 20188 yr I guess the Marlins are Wei Yin their options I already did this. You are not allowed to do this.
March 13, 20188 yr I don't think Chen has ever been advised to get TJ surgery. Seems to be the opposite actually. Would it be best to have the surgery? Of course it would be. But, to the best of my knowledge, all the doctors have told him so far is that resting it should be enough. I think it would be a bigger problem if he had been told to have the surgery and flat out rejected but I don't believe that's happened.
March 13, 20188 yr I already did this. You are not allowed to do this. yours was (waiting) mine is (weight in) dumb ass
March 13, 20188 yr I guess the Marlins are Wei-Yin their options. @pollythewog please request a ban for life of this sucker
March 13, 20188 yr yours was (waiting) mine is (weight in) dumb ass Yeah, so? It's still a pun with the guy's first name... and call me a name again and I'll punch you right on the chen.
