...so it isn't a sudden bone spur. He was hampered in September by the hand issue and the Oakland training staff prescribe rest and strength work. The Mariners acquired him...did they not give him a physical? How do you miss an existing bone spur in a guy's hand during a physical? Or...if they didn't miss it...how do they not get it dealt with right then and there?
Also...once you have bone spurs, don't they almost always come back?
