After watching the NHL cup playoffs and watching player after player beat the living piss out of each other I read about Tanaka blowing out both hamstrings on a routine baseball play a 90 foot run from 3rd to home. I’m a personal trainer I can’t fathom what type of training would precipitate this. Next year I got a new rule and I don’t care what type of team it leads to. If I can’t imagine the player suiting up for an NHL team I ain’t drafting them, no more blisters, sore fingers, tight quads, General soreness on and on. I saw Max Scherzer at the Washington Capitals at the hockey arena in full hockey gear that’s what I’m talking about.

So your first two picks next year will be Scherzer and Bartolo Colon?

Bartolo would make a great goalie. At least he pitches all his scheduled turns. I don’t have Tanaka but the blowing out double hamstrings even got my wife’s attention when she heard about this.

The Stay Puff Marshmallow man is my personal hero. You are right...good, bad or otherwise he will take the ball every chance he gets. My kind of athlete!
