How Will He Thrive in Twenty-Five?: Christian Scott

[Edgy MD]

The Nick Madrigal thread was only going to generate a limited amount of gambling due to his extended outage, but the next guy down the list is sure to be ... Christian Scott?

Damn, man has HWHTi25? moved into the training room or what? But this is the price of being comprehensive.

CS threw for the first time last week after UCL surgery on September 18, 2024, so he's more than likely done for the season, but ... maybe there is the Fallacy of the Round Number at work in scheduling the recovery time following this surgery. Maybe the same poor logic that has made 100 pitches the target number for a pitcher to throw in a game has made one calendar year the target return time for UCL surgery.

It's a thought, right?

Anyhow, I guess things are worth speculating about Christian Scott's season. Beard or no beard? Chipotle or Qdoba? Will he finally read Moby Dick?

He recovers from the fix

in 2026.

Later

Maybe a couple late-season relief outings.

Then in 2026:

2-5, 4.99 ERA, another injury that'll make him miss the rest of the year, then he'll be quietly dismissed after the season and fans in 10 years will be asking, "whatever happened to Christian Scott?".
