Baseball America’s ranking of the Mariners system is pretty far off in a lot of people’s view.

The scouts are pretty varied in opinion of Triunfel. The sources that the USSM has seem to be very keen on him. BA and BPro are less so. rankings too soon. Seems like the reasonable conclusion is that he’s hard to figure out. Some of the difference may have to do with the valuation of his skill set rather than the view of what skills he will have.

They said on the radio that he’d be out 3 weeks or so. Hopefully that was based on something other than a reporter making stuff up.

Anyone read the M’s Site, it says he broke is Fibula, not Tibia, which if it is true is actually a lot better news as it may only be 6-8 weeks.

I don't think it indicates anything (yet) except maybe he's unlucky. BTW, according to Drayer

Carlos Triunfel fractured his fibula, not his tibia as previously reported.

I am not a doctor, so I don't know if that's better or worse or what it might mean.

I hate to bring this up but…does this mean/indicate that Trunifel might be “fragile” or “injury-prone” a la Doyle? Or could it cause him to become that way, having such a serious injury at such a young age?

So we’ve got some people here who think he’ll be back in a month, and some people who seem to think this marks the end of his career in baseball. I’ll take “somewhere in between,” thanks.

I swear, Mariners’ fans are now the most bi-polar in baseball (though the manic phases, as extreme as they are, are almost vanishingly short compared to the depressed phases).

His return would depend on where the fracture is and what type. Hopefully its in the middle part of the bone and not directly above the ankle or right below the knee. If it’s one of those, he won’t even be putting weight on it for months.
