New Brewers SS Luis Urias underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a fractured left hamate bone and is expected to be sidelined for the next 6-8 weeks. He suffered the injury while playing winter ball. I wouldn't expect much power from him this season. Hamate surgery for power hitters seems to have an extended recovery time that often goes far beyond the actual return.Last edited by madducks; 01-29-2020, 09:26 AM.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

2019) After the 2018 season, Moustakas declined his $15 million mutual option with the Brewers and then settled for $10 million from the Brewers in February 2019.

But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Originally posted by Ken View PostAgree, I was out on Olson last year due to that news. But his power did not suffer at all. I wonder why? Anything we can learn from it?
Quick note on Urias - he'll play SS for the Brewers if healthy. Otherwise, it'll be Arcia at SS and Hiura at 2B.
In other Brewer news, looks like the Brewers have informed Braun that they will refuse the option for him in 2021, so it's likely this is his last year in Milwaukee.I'm just here for the baseball.

Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostI cannot remember where, but I read an well-researched article that provided strong evidence that this perception does not match actual performance. My simple take away was not to be afraid of hamate injuries.

Hmmm. So a few thoughts ...
That article and analysis is from 2014. I'm wondering about the point chance made that presumably treatment has improved affecting recovery times. But the sample sizes are rather small ... There simply aren't that many hamate injuries that we can establish any recent trends, at least not reliably.
But it's pretty clear that the stigma attached to players recovering from this injury are well understood, at least by anyone who follows the game regularly. Could this least to someone like Urias actually being undervalued in most auctions this spring? It would be a gamble, but maybe a good one ...It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Originally posted by cavebird View PostThat is weird, in a way, because even those who believe the hamate thing say it affects power. And Urias doesn't really have any power anyway.
