Ranking Hurt Pitchers

[Sour Masher]

What do you do with Garritt Cole and his stress fractures?

Cole does not have stress fractures. You are thinking of Devin Williams, who will miss 3 months. Cole appears to not have any tears in his ucl and is not getting prp injections. He could be back by the end of May, but who knows for sure. Pitching injuries seem up the last couple of years and there are so many hurt high end arms, I think the typical strategy of ignoring all hurt pitchers may not be the best strategy this year. It might be a good idea to pick one or two guys you think has a better chance of coming back and making a difference, calculating the risk/reward, and going for those guys at the right price. Cole may be at the top of that list for me, but I don't know if I can bring myself to spend what it would take to get him.
