The Potential Starter No One Is Talking About: Brandon Walter Is Going To Matter
One of the most difficult parts of the game of baseball is predicting injury risk with pitchers. My least favorite part of following this sport is getting attached to a young, up-and-coming arm who is reportedly going to see Dr. James Andrews, knowing full well what that will soon mean. Hell, not just a young arm, any great arm. Chris Sale Day was my favorite day of the week for two years in 2017 and 2018, and we haven’t seen THAT Chris Sale since he was introduced to Dr. Andrews. There is inherent risk every time that you take a baseball and throw it as hard as you can, over and over, at least 100 times in a given night. No pitching staff truly goes into a baseball season feeling “safe”.
