Pie's shoulder Injured in winter ball

[questionmarkgrace]

Pie said Sunday he hurt his shoulder while playing winter ball, which is why his season ended after 32 games. He tweaked it on a swing. Cubs Triple-A Iowa hitting coach Von Joshua was on the Licey coaching staff and working with Pie, but the injury was more soreness from fatigue. There's a difference between pain and soreness, and players have to learn that, too.

I guess that explaines the poor showing. Hopefully it was just a fatigue thing.

Personally I'm amazed on how much baseball some of these guys play over the course of the year.

 

I wonder which shoulder it was?

There is so much money out there to be made that IMO a lot of young players don't want to risk an injury...especially a long term one...and throw that future money away. Sometimes it's a hard thing to do...telling the differnce between soreness and injury and with all the new technology out there you'd think it would be easier. I don't know if an MRI can see an injury that is just a nudge away from happening but you'd think with all the money the Cubs and all MLB teams have on these guys they would have something set up to check them BEFORE anything happens. I am a big believer in being proactive injury wise instead of being reactive.

Probably Felix's.
