There's still a chance there. Early in the minor league season, but scouting reports from the spring seemed to indicate his pop had bounced back.

That shit is no joke. My old shop teacher/basketball coach from high school got it several years back after a hunting trip. He was wheelchair bound for a bit and had to relearn how to walk. He’s doing much better with a walker now, and granted, a much older man, but yeah, it can be quite debilitating even for a young man. Cross is definitely on the radar.
