Fox Injures Elbow

April 26, 2005 by cubsnet

So much for the Chad Fox as closer idea. "Fox suffered what could be a season-ending—and perhaps career-ending—elbow injury," reports the Chicago Tribune. That "career-ending" bit is just speculation on the part of writer Paul Sullivan; there's no expert backing it up. Still, like last year, the Cubs' injuries are mounting. And Chad Fox is faced with what his career has already seen too much of: more rehab.

Third Strike?

Although I can't say for sure, since I've never been a professional athlete nor portrayed one, this may be the case where 3 strikes and you're out would apply. There's always that part of an athlete that wants to compete, but Fox would be better off taking an injury settlement and moving on.

Of course, if it pays better to go along with rehab for this season, then do that and once the contract is up find other things to do with your life. This may be heresy, but there's more to life besides baseball. He'll probably have pain from that elbow the rest of his life, particularly during his latter years, so I would be hesitant on causing more pain for some type of attempt at a return.

Good points. A comeback is nice. Not doing lifelong damage to your arm just by avoiding throwing a few more innings of baseball is better.
