00:00cole reagan's won't be available for some time cole reagan's hits the io with a left rotator cuff

00:05strain not good george also even worse is the dreaded second opinion now george i don't know

00:12we've been doing this for quite some time decades now i would say you and i so whenever you hear the

00:18word second opinion i typically know what that means which is i'm not going to see cole reagan's

00:21for a very long time typically and i think the royals have to figure that out now from a fantasy

00:26standpoint noah cameron just kind of bumps back into this rotation i know his last start against

00:30the yankees wasn't where he wanted to be but that's okay you give him a pass other than that he's been

00:34pretty good this year you've still got waka lugo uh bubich and lorenzen in this rotation but from

00:39a fantasy perspective replacing cole reagan is difficult and this is now what the third time

00:44with an injury he is going to miss time this season so cole reagan's now officially becomes one of those

00:49guys george i feel like you're talking about that all of a sudden now you don't really trust him

00:53going into next season so do you think we see him again this year george and what is your take

00:58on him potentially for next season in terms of avoiding or fading cole reagan's yeah when you

01:04get a second opinion you know if i go to a doctor doctor say hey you're fine oh good oh thanks doc

01:09i'm gonna get another opinion no generally you're oh thanks doc great i'm going back to work you're

01:14getting a second opinion because the first opinion was bad okay bad you know so that's certainly not

01:19a good thing and by the way shoulders worse than elbow at least with the elbow all right you have to

01:23go tommy john you'll probably be fine when you get back shoulder you wreck your shoulder you got

01:27a torn rotator cuff to one labrum guys don't come back from that they're not the same player so you're

01:32really hoping it's not that uh and by the way they're also not in a rush to get the second opinion

01:37that's not good either i mean it's either way he's sort of screwed here you know even if it comes up

01:41back better you're still out for a while uh listen what are you gonna do you gonna try and trade him

01:46i mean good luck to you i mean who's gonna buy this or somebody living under living under a rock

01:51and not paying attention here i think he's pretty much done for the season joe i don't think you'll

01:54see much of him and it's bad i don't i think i would be avoiding him like the plague next year

01:59even if i hear come oh he's fine you know he's going to start opening day and all that i don't

02:03think i would be touching him because i think his value is still going to be around round three round

02:08four you know maybe you know what a mid rounds and yeah i'm not i am just not touching him
