I hope not!
I already lost Jose Fernandez last year.
from rotoworld:
Giants manager Bruce Bochy doesn't think Madison Bumgarner's injuries will require surgery.
"If you’ve read this site at all in the last 24 hours, you’ll know that Bumgarner suffered rib and shoulder injuries in a dirt-bike accident on Thurday. He was wearing a sling when he showed up to the ballpark on Friday and will be evaluated by Dr. Kenneth Akizuki on Monday. The Giants originally gave a timetable of 6-8 weeks for his recovery but there have been rumblings Bumgarner might miss more than two months."
He fucked up bad and I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants take some money from his salary for a non related baseball injury if he doesn't come back this year.I hope not!

Man I think it's real fucked up MLB tested Eric Thames after the Reds game.
Thames dismissed suspicions that his power surge is being fueled by performance-enhancing drugs.
"If people keep thinking I'm on stuff, I'll be here every day," he said. "I have a lot of blood and urine."
Great response by Thames.

Pirates rookie Ngoepe first African player to reach majors
PITTSBURGH -- Gift Ngoepe was aware of the significance of the moment when he put on his Pittsburgh Pirates uniform for the first time in the regular season.
The Pirates recalled the infielder from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, making him the first player from Africa to reach the major leagues.
"It's a dream come true for me because it's been my dream since I was a 10-year-old boy, but it also means so much to the people of South Africa and baseball in Africa," Ngoepe said before the Pirates played the Chicago Cubs. "I've gotten plenty from people back home who are so excited. Baseball is still very much in the development stages [in Africa] and hopefully this gets more people interested."
The Pirates optioned right-handed reliever Dovydas Neverauskas to Indianapolis.
Ngoepe, 27, was born in Pietersburg, South Africa, and attended high school in the suburbs of Johannesburg. Ngoepe signed with Pittsburgh in 2008 and was batting .241 in Triple-A when he was promoted.
Ngoepe was not in the starting lineup Wednesday.
"It's a great win for the organization and great accomplishment by Gift," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of Ngoepe's promotion. "I first saw him 6-plus years ago in instructional league and he's completely changed.
"I'm sure a lot of people have told him over the years that he would never make the major leagues: professional scouts, people in uniform, people out of uniform. But he didn't listen, and persevered until he got here."
Ngoepe is considered the best defensive prospect in the organization. Pittsburgh is struggling defensively this season. The Pirates' 19 errors entering Wednesday were tied for most in the majors.
Neverauskas became the first Lithuania-born and raised player to pitch in the majors when he appeared Monday in a loss to the Cubs.
"It shows that you don't have to be from a big country like the United States to reach your dream of making it to the major leagues," Ngoepe said. "Dovydas is from Europe. I'm from Africa. Baseball is not a popular sport [on either continent], but if you work hard enough and dream a little bit, anything is possible."

Hunter Greene Done Pitching For The Season
By Hudson Belinsky / April 27, 2017 at 08:59 AM EDT
Hunter Greene, the No. 1 prospect in this year’s draft class, confirmed in a telephone interview that he is officially done pitching for the high school season. Notre Dame High (Sherman Oaks, Calif.) head coach Tom Dill informed the team after today’s practice that Greene will not pitch again this season.
Greene is 100 percent healthy, and will continue playing shortstop and throwing bullpens to stay in shape so that he could resume pitching in games this summer after the draft.
This season, Greene has made five starts and tossed 28 innings. He has allowed three earned runs, struck out 43 and walked four. In his career at Notre Dame, Greene has accumulated 121.1 innings and posted a 1.62 ERA (on a seven-inning high school scale). He’s struck out 30 percent of the batters he’s faced over his four years, and 41 percent of the batters he has faced this season.
Greene’s fastball has peaked at 102 mph this season on some scouts’ radar guns, while others have seen him top out at 101. His slowest fastball of the season was 95 mph. He has shown promise with his slider and changeup and impressive command. There are varying opinions in the scouting community on Greene’s breaking pitches, though most see his slider ahead of his curveball at this point. His slider projects as a plus pitch long term and Greene’s outstanding athleticism—coupled with his being just 17 years old and a high baseball IQ—leads scouts to believe he will have no trouble developing a deep arsenal of pitches to compete at the major league level, potentially at the front of a rotation.
Greene has worked with long toss guru Alan Jaeger since he was seven years old and has been cognizant of arm care techniques and recommended rest periods throughout his development. Rumors have surfaced about Greene trying to slide to the Padres—who pick third—but that would only be the case if he is passed on by the Twins, who hold the top pick.
Following Greene’s last start on April 7 he and his family met with Twins chief baseball officer Derek Falvey. Greene has developed positive relationships with several members of the Twins’ front office and player development staff, including Hall of Famer Dave Winfield and special assistants to baseball operations LaTroy Hawkins and Torii Hunter. The Twins’ and the Padres’ approaches to pitching development align more so with Greene’s philosophy than that of the Reds, who pick in between the two.
In meetings with teams throughout the fall and spring, Greene has asked teams about their player development strategies and developmental plans to not only help him get to the major leagues, but develop into the star player many evaluators envision him becoming.
The decision for Dill to shut Greene down on the mound follows a similar trend that has taken hold in football, where players such as running backs Leonard Fournette (LSU) and Christian McCaffrey (Stanford), both projected first-round picks in this week’s NFL draft, chose not to play in bowl games, in order to stay healthy and prepare for the draft. The timing of the baseball draft makes this a rare decision, as high school and college teams are still competing leading up to the draft, while the college football season ends months in advance of the NFL draft.
Notre Dame has a comfortable 4 1/2-game lead in Southern California’s competitive Mission League. Sophomore righthander Carter Kessinger and freshman lefthander Lucas Gordon both give the team a chance a strong chance to compete in the CIF playoffs. Greene will continue to play shortstop and hit in the middle of the lineup for Notre Dame. He is a good prospect at shortstop with graceful infield actions, top-of-the-scale arm strength and excellent range. Greene also shows plus-plus raw power in batting practice and can put on a show in home run derbies. His upside on the mound, however, makes him more likely to be a pitcher at the next level.
Rumors have been floated about Greene shutting things down for a couple weeks. While he did not pitch in last week’s Boras Classic, Greene had not officially been shut down until today. Greene has taken the rumors and scrutiny well, and said tonight that he understands that rumors are part of the process.

Giancarlo Stanton rooting for Hunter Greene, MLB draft uber-prospect from his alma mater: 'He's a baller'
Tim Healey Contact Reporter Sun Sentinel
May 1, 2017
The Next Big Thing from Giancarlo Stanton’s alma mater has accomplished something the Miami Marlins slugger never did as an amateur: make the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Hunter Greene, expected to be a top-two pick in next month’s MLB draft, is about to graduate from Notre Dame High in Sherman Oaks, Calif., the same school Stanton graduated from in 2007.
“He beat me to it. I couldn’t get it in high school,” said a smiling Stanton, who since has appeared on the front of a February 2015 issue of SI. “He’s a baller, though. Hopefully he goes 1-1 [first overall.]”
The SI cover declares Greene “the star baseball needs” and asks: “Baseball’s LeBron or the new Babe?” The latter half of that question is a reference to Greene’s skill set. The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder is a shortstop, able to hit balls 450 feet clear out of major league ballparks, and a pitcher, able to throw it 102 mph.
Whichever path Green takes as a professional, he’s already reached a degree of fame at an age Stanton — who broke into the big leagues as a 20-year-old in 2010 — can’t quite relate to.
“Usually you have that type of popularity with college, when you’re walking around a college campus. I don’t know how that is,” said Stanton, who didn’t go to college. “[When] you’re like that in high school it’s a whole ’nother level.”
Stanton has met Greene, who almost certainly won’t last until the Marlins’ first pick at No. 13, and has bought equipment for Greene and the rest of the Notre Dame High baseball team.
There’s a tinge of lighthearted bitterness, too, at what the program has done since Stanton graduated.
“Everything upgraded since I left,” said Stanton. “They got cooler, better jerseys. State champs once I left. Lights on the field.”
Greene might one day join Stanton, the newest of nine big leaguers to come from their school. The Knights have also produced a handful of NFL players, including Stanton contemporary and Carolina Panthers defensive end Wes Horton.
One of those major leaguers, shortstop Tom Foli (six teams, 1970-85), is the program’s only other first overall pick. Stanton went in the second round (76th overall) to the Marlins in ’07. He’s rooting for Greene to be the top guy this time around.
“It would be pretty dang cool,” Stanton said.

Orioles' Adam Jones berated by racist taunts at Fenway Park
http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb...t-taunts-at-fenway-park/ar-BBABI9u?li=BBnb7Kz
BOSTON -- Baltimore Orioles All-Star center fielder Adam Jones was berated by racist taunts at Fenway Park while a bag of peanuts was thrown at him Monday night, calling it one of the worst cases of fan abuse he has heard in his career.
“A disrespectful fan threw a bag of peanuts at me,’’ Jones said, “I was called the N-word a handful of times tonight. Thanks. Pretty awesome.’’
Jones, one of just 62 African-Americans on opening-day rosters this year, said he has been subjected to racist hecklings in the past at Fenway Park, but said this was one of the worst experiences of his 12-year career.
The fan that threw the bag of peanuts at Jones in the dugout was found, and escorted from the ballpark, Jones said, but he wishes the punishment was much more severe.
“It’s pathetic,’’ he said. “It’s called a coward. What they need to do is that instead of kicking them out of the stadium, they need to fine them 10 grand, 20 grand, 30 grand. Something that really hurts somebody. Make them pay in full. And if they don’t, take it out of their check.
“That’s how you hurt somebody. You suspend them from the stadium, what does that mean? It’s a slap on the wrist. That guy needs to be confronted, and he needs to pay for what he’s done.
“At the end of the day, when you throw an object onto the field of play, the player has no idea what it is. What if something hit me right in the eye and I can’t play baseball anymore. Then what? I just wear it? No.
“Things like that need to be handled a little more properly, in my opinion.’’
