Next Time, Just Dry

What it said....
'Jose Quintana required surgery on his left thumb after getting hurt washing his dishes at home, and he won't resume his throwing program for another two weeks.
He needed a nerve repaired in his thumb, and he required five stitches afterwards. One imagines this will put Quintana at least three or four weeks behind at the beginning of the season.'
What it should have said...
'Jose Quintana got a little too much of the plate with a Cutter and was hurt by it today. He'll need a doctor to repair the nerve to his left thumb.
He'll also have to have another nerve looked at. The nerve to tell his wife "No" next time the dishes need washed.
As is, Quintana hits the IL with 'dishpan hand.'
EDIT- One more....
'Free agent Tyson Ross has joined his brother in saying he's sitting out the season.
Nationals starter Joe Ross said earlier this week that he was opting out. Ross was in camp with the Giants on a minor league deal, but he was released last week.'
'Tyson Ross has decided to sit out the season. This sounds better than saying, "Nobody wants me."
In Fantasy, few care.
Tyson and his brother, Joe Ross, are as close to getting picked in drafts as David Ross.
Tyson and Joe will try to catch on with a team next year.
Good luck.
Nothing looks better on a resume than saying, "I sat out last year".
