THE BIG HURT: Hurt file, April 26-May 1
May 1 2017
One difficulty in evaluating injuries is that teams don’t release all relevant information. That leaves us guessing somewhat, trying to diagnose the extent of an injury based on the team’s timeline estimate or the player’s description of his symptoms. In addition, while teams may provide an estimated return date, they rarely discuss the distribution of possible outcomes, nor do they talk about risk of recurrence.
This uncertainty is a common theme running through the current crop of players we’re evaluating. We simply don’t know the severity of the injury, though we can piece things together. In most cases, that should be enough to get a good picture, at least.
We’re hardly complaining. If teams did give you all of the details up...
